In the context of search and virtual assistants, a synonym is a word or phrase that yields results that are either exactly or nearly the same, when queried with another word or phrase. For example, in a banking scenario, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">transfer funds<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">move money<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pay dues, clear dues\u00a0 <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all refer to the same intent of making payment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Synonyms feature allows you to define a set of equivalent words or phrases that are considered to expand the scope of searching documents with equivalent words therefore improving the quality of search.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Search Assistant allows you to add multiple synonyms against a single word. Once created all synonyms are given the same weight as the original word and can be used interchangeably in the user utterances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Synonyms in SearchAssist are further classified into:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Regular Synonyms<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 A regular synonym is a standard type of synonym where each word in a list of synonyms is replaced by the others. For example, consider a synonym list of [d<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ebit \u21d4 pay, credit \u21d4 receive, get paid]<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A search for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">debit <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will find results with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cards <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and a search for c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ards <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will find <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">debit<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>One-way Synonyms<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 A one-way synonym is a word or phrase that yields the results exactly or nearly the same as another word, but not the reverse. For example, consider the search for a car. You can search for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vehicles <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to find a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">car<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but not the other way round. You don\u2019t want a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">car <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">search to find all <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vehicles<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> i.e. a search for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cars <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">should not result in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">trucks<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You can achieve this by defining one-way synonyms [<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">transaction\u00a0 -&gt; payment<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">]<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"w-post-elm post_title entry-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_Synonyms\"><\/span>Adding Synonyms<span
