To add individual terms to the custom thesaurus:
- Launch the OnBase Configuration module.
- Select Full-Text Search from the Utils menu. The Full-Text Configuration Module dialog box is displayed.

-
Click the green +(plus) button at the upper left of the list of terms.
The Add new term field is displayed.

Enter a new term in the Add new term field.
This is the primary term that the synonyms are added for and is a convenient way to group synonyms. When the term or any of the synonyms are used in a thesaurus search, results are returned for any of the configured synonyms or the term. For example, if car is the term and truck, automobile, and vehicle are the synonyms, when a thesaurus search is performed for automobile, results are returned for car, truck, automobile, and vehicle.
Note:Phrases are not supported as terms in the thesaurus. A term must be a single word.

For example, if car is the term and truck, automobile, and vehicle are the synonyms, when a thesaurus search is performed for automobile, results are returned for car, truck, automobile, and vehicle.
Note:Phrases are not supported as synonyms in the thesaurus. A synonym must be a single word.
