Steps to reproduce -

Index creation script

1. Download [http://wordnetcode.princeton.edu/3.0/WNprolog-3.0.tar.gz](http://wordnetcode.princeton.edu/3.0/WNprolog-3.0.tar.gz) ,  
extract wn\_s.pl and place it in config directory.
2. Create an index using this script -  
[https://gist.github.com/Vineeth-Mohan/7118283](https://gist.github.com/Vineeth-Mohan/7118283)
3. ./AboveScript localhost
4. Index a feed  
curl -XPOST '[http://localhost:9200/events/news](http://localhost:9200/events/news)' -d ' { "Events" : {  
"Event" : "large forest in large" } }'
5. Execute this search - [https://gist.github.com/Vineeth-Mohan/7118312](https://gist.github.com/Vineeth-Mohan/7118312)
6. Output obtained - [https://gist.github.com/Vineeth-Mohan/7118329](https://gist.github.com/Vineeth-Mohan/7118329)

Observation - Received "large forest in  
large" rather than "large forest in  
large" for searching big ( big is present in the synonym file)

Thanks
