Configuring ISS 2.11+ Synonyms

Prerequisites: You must have Ingeniux ISS 2.11+ installed.
Version Notes: ISS 2.11+
As of the release of ISS 2.11, the configuration of synonyms has moved from Search.config to a dedicated configuration file (i.e., synonyms.xml) in [Drive]:\[path-to-DSS-root-folder]\Config, which is its default location.

Note
If you are upgrading to ISS 2.11+ and have synonyms configured in Search.config from an earlier ISS release, see Migrating Synonym Configuration for details.

Once configured, the synonyms search feature returns results for searched terms that are similar in meaning to those in the indexed content.

To configure synonyms in ISS 2.11+:
  1. Navigate to Config\Synonyms.xml.
  2. Open synonyms.xml in a text editor.
  3. Use the following sample to customize your Synonyms.xml file: 
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Synonyms>
   <S words="organization,institution,company,firm,corporation"/>
   <S words="cat,kitty,feline,lion"/>
</Synonyms>
    Note
    For the sample configuration above, if the search term entered by an end user is corporation, then results are returned for all matches of organization, institution, company, firm and/or corporation in the indexed content.
  4. Save Synonyms.xml when you finish.
    Note
    If you are upgrading to InSite Search 2.11+ and have synonyms configured in Search.config from an earlier ISS release, see Migrating Synonym Configuration for details.
