Hi All, I'm trying to follow the steps here: [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/analysis/synonym-tokenfilter.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/index-modules/analysis/synonym-tokenfilter.html) and use data from wordnet for synonyms. I've downloaded the wordnet database but I can't work out which files should be used. The ones I have tried seem to cause an error and looking through them they don't seem to match the sample format that us show inline in the docs. Is there some preprocessing that needs to be done on the files to get them into a format that elasticsearch can use? Thanks Chris. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

ok, worked it out. You have to use the prolog files wn\_s.pl.
