Hello,
is there any syntax that could be use to make search with synonyms ?
Is it possible to use 'AND' and 'OR' to make search ?
Regards.
I'm not sure what you mean by "Is it possible to use 'AND' and 'OR' to make search."
If you want users to be able to search with synonyms, this previous post on using a taxonomy/thesaurus with Laserfiche might help. By defining a thesaurus for your search catalog, you can specify synonyms that all your users would be able to search on.
As Brianna pointed out, using a taxonomy/thesaurus with Laserfiche is probably what you are looking for.
And you can use 'AND' (actually phrase search) and 'OR' to expand queries by adding synonyms in advanced search. However, this method has several disadvantages comparing to the built-in thesaurus feature: 1) all the users needs to expand the query manually every time; 2) it is slower than the built-in thesaurus; 3) the expanded query is hard to read, and hard to write. This method is useful if it is handled by an application, and the application uses SDK to search against the repository. In this case, it gives you more control of thesaurus setting (like per-user settings).
