Search Thesaurus
The configurable search thesaurus allows administrators to define associations between words. When one word is searched, both it and its synonyms will be returned. This association can go both ways (so that, for example, searching for “LF” returns documents with the word “Laserfiche” and vice versa), or only one way (so that searching for “Laserfiche” returns documents with the word “Workflow,” but not vice versa). In the Laserfiche Web Administration Console, administrators can set up custom thesaurus entries specific to their company or industry, and in addition, they can import and customize a predefined list of many common synonyms.
Show me examples.
Suzanne often goes by Suzi at her workplace, but documents relating to her may list her under her full name. Her coworkers sometimes search for "Suzi" and then be unable to find documents in which she is referred to as "Suzanne." An administrator could resolve this issue by making "Suzi" and "Suzanne" synonyms of one another.
Some documents in the repository refer to "FAFSA" and some to the "Free Application for Federal Student Aid." An administrator could make it easier to search for all relevant documents by making these terms synonyms of one another.
Administrators can configure the search thesaurus in the Laserfiche Web Administration Console to treat certain search terms as synonyms of one another. You can set up customized synonyms, or import a predefined search thesaurus.
