Author  Topic  kpriya Starting Member 2 Posts Posted - 2009-04-01 : 00:42:49 We have implemented Full Text Search on our system. The only thing is missing is the Thesaurus. The one that comes with SQL Server has a "sampling" of a few words. We would like to implement a Thesaurus of basically all the English words and their synonyms - so "car" replaces "auto", etc. But I cannot find any way of either downloading a "pre-filled" XML file that I can simply plug in instead of the other one, which contains the thousands of words, or a way to get some thesaurus in a table and import that into the XML. Is there any way to get a "ready out of the box" thesaurus file out of the box or can I only edit it word by word (which is not feasible to add hundreds of thousands of words). Any help is greatly appreciated.
