We are planning to keep synonyms for a particular field in a database table. So we will need to use a custom analyzer. The SynonymAnalyzer from Solr accepts a property file with synonyms. So I think I will need to extend it and customize it to accept a Map of synonyms which are fetched from the db.

Also, my understanding is that this analyzer need to be applied only for indexing. While searching, I can use the StandardAnalyzer itself.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong.



Thanks,
Seema

right on both points.
