Adding search synonyms to attribute values

You can add synonyms to a managed attribute value so that users can search for other text strings and still get the same records as a search for the original attribute value name.

When a managed attribute is used as the record search key, the text strings considered by record search for matching are the individual names of the attribute values within the attribute. The managed attribute name is automatically added as a searchable string.

You can add synonyms to an attribute value so that users can search for other text strings and still get the same records as a search for the original attribute value name. Synonyms can be added only to child attribute values, not to root attribute values.

You can use the Data Ingest Web Service's ingestDimensionValues operation to add synonyms when adding attribute values to the data store in the Oracle Endeca Server. For details, see the Oracle Endeca Server Data Loading Guide.
