Synonyms has to be only one word????

[mfpmya]

Hi,
I have started to work with the synomyms. The problem, from my understanding, is that the feature only works when equalling one word to several ones like this:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology=mit.edu,http://www.mit.edu/
But in my case I have also:
Massachusetts College of Art=massart.edu,http://www.massart.edu/
Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts=mcla.edu,http://www.mcla.edu/
If I make a txt file with this 3 matches together when I import it into the Zoomsearch the program just deletes two of the entries saying they are the same, so it is taking only the first word of each equation. Is there any way I could use more than the first word to use the synonym feature?

PS: please move it to the V6 forum, I thought I was there xDDD

The feature allows you to specify synonyms, variations of words, common misspellings, etc. and allow you to map them to an equivalent word in the index.

For example.
dog=puppies,puppy,canine,dingo

Can can't map phrases to another phrases. Only words to words.

If you want phrases to be associated to a particaular page, I would suggest adding the phrase into the page's meta data.

If you are trying to link a phrase/query to a particular URL or link (as it seems to be the case with your examples), perhaps you should be looking at the Recommended Links feature instead.

The recommended links feature does support matching phrases.

Thanks to both of you. With respect to the "recommended links feature" that is not suitable for what we need. The question is that we want that if our users search for mit.edu they find the pages that refers to Massachusetts Institute of Technology so the links feature does not work that way. It looks more feasible for us to use metadata as the place to put the equivalences we need. I just need to check a couple of things and if they work zoom search will do as we want. Thanks for your suggestions
