What is Thesaurus search?

What is Thesaurus search?

eMAM now supports Thesaurus search. Full-Text Search Thesaurus is an XML text file. Full-text search queries will look for synonyms defined in the expansion sets. An expansion set contains a group of words such as "smile", "blush", and "laugh" that are substituted for one another by a full-text query.  
Therefore, if a user enables Thesaurus search in the Basic and Advanced search, search result will list all the assets with the searched phrase and also the synonym words in the expansion sets.

How to enable Thesaurus?
To enable Thesaurus for Basic search, follow the steps below (only for eMAM Version 5.1.0.13 and above):
1. Open "C:\Program Files\Empress Media\eMAM Director\web.config". 
2. Search for the key "BasicsearchBehaviour"
3. Change the value of "BasicsearchBehaviour" to "thesaurus" 
   eg :   <add key="BasicsearchBehaviour" value="thesaurus" />
