Hi,  
Our customer is asking about using synonyms for searches on their site.  
What I can see there is no support for this with lucene on our version.  
Have I missed something? Is there a solution for this?

Customer wants e.g the search word “Jackor” to also get hits on items that contains “jacka” in their name.

Thanks!

Litium version: 6.1

You can either implement your own logic Or add a new text field to the product e.g. Synonyms and add all related words with a hyphen, for example Jackor-jacka-Winterwear-orWhatEver…
