add synonyms to Solr index for better searching results

drh-stanford commented 9 years ago

OGP has synonym files that handled LCSH and more.

Should this also be added upstream to geoblacklight?

yes, i think so. it would go into both geoblacklight and geoblacklight-schema

work to be done here:

copy the synonym .txt files from the link at top into the config/solr_config directory of this repo
update the schema.xml and/or solrconfig.xml in this repo to make the analyzers take account of the synonym files
test it out locally to see if synonym-based searching works (e.g. "CO" or "colo" should give results for "Colorado")
if it works, make the same changes to the solr config in sul-solr-configs
do a reindex, if needed? (might not be needed if we only apply synonyms at query time)
consider making the same changes in geoblacklight
