Hi there!
I'm using elasticsearch for full-text front end search and have set up a custom search analyser with a large solr-format synonym filter attached. Unfortunately, some of these synonyms address business cases while others actually hinder search results. This file is massive and cannot be easily fixed, however: keeping the original tokens in addition to synonym results would solve most of our problems.
However, it seems that regarding the synonym filter my options are severely limited.
I have tried:
- multiplexer filter - does not work for most cases as we have plenty of multi-term synonym entries
- keyword repeat - incompatible with search
- synonym graph shows the same behaviour (expected, but I guess I had to try)
Is there any way to do this? The only viable option we seem to have left is to use copy_to to copy to separate field without synonyms and a different search analyser. This is seems rather cumbersome and and not great performance wise.
Please let me know if there's an easier way to achieve this - maybe I've missed a config value somewhere?
Thanks
