Change the separator of the Solr synonyms list

My list of synonyms, extracted from a thesaurus, contains commas, generally used to put the main word in the first place, for example for person names or geographic names:

Barack Obama => Obama, Barack

But the list of synonyms of Solr uses only the "," as separator. So I need to change it to something like "|" or to add an enclosure. Where are these options?

Solution

  • You can use a backslash - \ - to escape special characters in the synonyms.txt file:

    Barack Obama => Obama\, Barack
