Create a Synonym

Synonyms are words or phrases that have the same or nearly the same meaning as the keyword with which they are associated.

If you define a new complex synonym (that is, a synonym containing multiple words separated by spaces or other delimiters), also create an identical special term so that the product can treat the synonym as a single entity. For example, if you define "Computer Associates" as a synonym for "CA", also define "Computer Associates" as a special term.

Note: You cannot define a synonym or keyword that exists as a noise word.
