There are two types of “Search Synonyms” in KIBO: “One Way” and “Two Way”.“One Way” expansion includes a “Term” and a set of “Synonyms” that replace the search results. As this is a “One Way” expansion, the search results are not expanded to the “Term” or any other listed “Synonyms”.“Two Way” expansion does not include a “Term”, but instead only contains a list of “Synonyms” to which the search expands. This is a “Two Way” expansion, so for any listed “Synonym”, the search results are expanded to all other listed “Synonyms”.“Multi-Word” search terms are only expanded if they are contained within “quotes” in the search query. If a “Multi-Word” search term is not contained within “quotes” in the search query, each word in the search will be used to find “Synonyms”.
