What are synonyms?
A synonym is any word that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another in the same language (e.g. lawyer, attorney, solicitor).
A search administrator will use synonyms to expand the “meaning” of a query, and ensure that other closely-related words are also considered in the results presented to the user.
