Intracto Elastic Synonym
============

This library reads/writes elasticsearch synonyms and converts them into an array of editable objects.
A refresh action can be called whenever you want to make the updated synonyms available for your users.

See `intracto/elastic-synonym-bundle` for a plug-and-play implementation for symfony 4.4+ using bootstrap.

Note: make sure you're using a query that supports analyzing, like the regular match filter (example below).

Additional requirements:
* Elasticsearch 7.3+
* Synonym filter must be applied to the search analyzer. It won't work for index analyzers

Installation
============

```console
$ composer require intracto/elastic_synonym
```

Synonym file on filesystem
==========================
There are a few limitations we need to work around:
* Elasticsearch will *only* read wherever the current config file is located (usually `/etc/elasticsearch`)
* Our webuser on the filesystem will propably have not the permissions to write to the desired directory.

This is why we choose to work with a symlink.
This can also be implemented as you want, but here is a working example using vagrant:
```console
$ mkdir /vagrant/.elastic-synonym
$ touch /vagrant/.elastic-synonym/synonyms.txt # name the file anyway you want

$ sudo ln -s /vagrant/.elastic-synonym /etc/elasticsearch/analytics
```

Synonym filter in elastic
=========================
Add the following filter under `settings.analysis.filter`:
```php
'my_synonyms' => [ // a name for your filter
'type' => 'synonym_graph',
'synonyms_path' => 'analytics/synonyms.txt', // This needs to be the path inside /etc/elastic.
'updateable' => true, // *must* be true
],
```

If you want to add it to your default search analyzer, add the following settings under `settings.analysis.analyzer`:
```php
'default_search' => [
// ..
'filter' => [/*'..', */'my_synonyms'],
],
```

A simple example (assuming you're using defaults and added the filter to your default_search):
```php
$body['query']['bool']['should'][] = ['match' => ['description' => [
'query' => 'this is an example',
'fuzziness' => 'AUTO',
'operator' => 'OR',
]]];
```
