[Xapian-devel] Synonyms of Abbreviations

[QE :: Felix Ostmann]

i tried that too ;)

Perhaps you can try this:

MBA => Master of business administration
db.add_synonym("mba","master");
db.add_synonym("mba","business");
db.add_synonym("mba","administration");

And hope for the best ;)

When you use a stemmer, perhaps you have to write Zmaster, Z...
