Synonyms.cfg to blending.cfg

Hi,

I’m wondering if there is a synonyms file for names that is written in the PADRE Thesaurus Version: 2 format.

I’m looking to leverage blending for a specific collection so that I can apply better weighting and surface exact matches for a name over synonym matches (i.e. a search for “Cathy” surfaces “Catherine” and “Katie” higher than “Cathy” in the results.

Thanks,
Scott

Hi, synonyms haven’t been stored in the v2 format since v14.2.

It’s not difficult to convert a v3 file into v2 - basically can download the file, strip off a number of fields and change the version number.

v3 added a set of additional fields to track the publication status of individual plugins.

The V3 format is outlined here:

V2 is here:

Thank you! I’ll look into this.

Just in case I’m missing something, has the blending.cfg been updated to use v3?
