Hi,

I used synonym filter and put mapping as follows :  
`estimate => estimate, evaluate, judge`

So here when I write a query to search word estimate it returns me the result which contains the word **estimate** as well as **evaluate**.

This is working fine. Now I have to do another search where let say this **judge** word is not present in the document but if I search with the word judge then it should show me results with **estimate** and **evaluate**.  
Or let say I have a mapping like this `profit => net income`  
and my document contains word " **net income**" but it is not having word **profit** , so if I search by word **profit** then it should return me **net income** in the result. This is not happening can someone tell me what mapping to be used for this or is there any other way to do such things with synonyms
