Custom Thesaurus

The Verity mksyd command-line command-line tool can be used to create a custom thesaurus for use by a knowledge retrieval application. Some Verity locales, like English, provide a default thesaurus in the application's /language directory. For other locales, if you want to use the <THESAURUS> operator, you will need to create your own thesaurus. Only one thesaurus may be used per application.

This appendix covers these topics:

The thesaurus is accessed during search processing when user queries include the <THESAURUS> operator. When the <THESAURUS> operator is used, a <THESAURUS> query causes the search engine to find documents containing synonyms for a given search term.
