I am creating a term set.
Some of my terms have multiple names so I am using synonyms.
To give a bad example if my term was "Everything Everywhere" my synonyms would be "Orange" and "Hutchinson Telecom" - the previous names for the company.
When indexing the user types "Orange" and "Everything Everywhere" is recommended - fantastic.
The problem is that this does not work for retrieval.
If I search for Orange - nothing.
If I switch on meta data navigation on the library my synonyms are nowhere to be seem.
My question is am I seeing the expected behaviour and how is this issue worked through since most term sets in my experience will have this type of lifecycle.
