On my question about doing a first name search by it's synonyms, like
William Will Bill Billy
James Jim Jimmy
Oleg answered, that I can use dict_xsyn for that.
In the dict_xsyn manual, it is said that:
"This dictionary type replaces words with groups of their synonyms,
and so makes it
possible to search for a word using any of its synonyms"
This means, that if the dictionary sees the name "William", it will
replace it with "William Will Bill Billy", so that I can search with
any of them.
But what if the parser sees the word "Billy"? I want it to do
absolutely the same. If not, as far as I understand, I will make a
default synonym dictionary with pairs like:
will william
bill william
billy william etc.
Is there a way not to use this?
no, but you always can generate rules for that using other tools.
Thanks. Oleg, and what do you think about creating an xsyn dictionary
like with e.g. a python script:
William Will Bill Billy
Will William Bill Billy
Bill William Will Billy
Billy William Will Bill ?
