> Synonyms match correctly and the query is expanded indeed, however in some

> Example:
>
> before synonyms
>
> search for crm about 1000 results
>
> synonyms implemented
>
> crm, customer relationship management
>
> search for crm about 200 results
>
> One would expect solr to return more results as a result of using synonyms
> but the effect is exactly opposite..
