Re: [VuFind-Tech] Configuring search term alternatives in vufind

[Demian K. <dem...@vi...>]

This falls under Solr's domain - those suggestions are coming from Solr's spell checker, which is configured here:

https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/blob/master/solr/vufind/biblio/conf/solrconfig.xml#L483

It may be possible to adjust the behavior through some Solr settings. Additionally, Solr now has some new spell checking features which we plan to investigate for a future release, as discussed here:

https://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-745

Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. I'm also copying this reply to the vufind-tech list; vufind-admins is largely used for automated notices, so more people will see it on vufind-tech, in case anybody else has some suggestions.

Subject: [Vufind-admins] Configuring search term alternatives in vufind

How does one modify what values are chosen as vufind's Search alternatives?
For example, what/where is the formula that results in suggesting "money" when we search for "monkey"?
Does this fall under solr's domain or is there a file in vufind that can be modified?
Thanks,
Thom
