Hi Rick,

Since the docs I have indexed are all in portuguese, I need portuguese
synonyms.

A metaphone or soundex could solve part of the problem, but I like to
identify "as same" some keywords like
server = servidor
database = banco de dados
procedure = procedimento
index = indice

because a lot of searchs could be

firebird server

and a lot of documents have both kinds ("firebird server" or "servidor
firebird")

My case was a very specific, so the needs/problems I encounter could
have no correlation to a "real world" FTS needs.

But you could be sure that I don't want to mantain such list :-))

see you !
