enable azure search synonyms

Question

I'm trying to enable a synonym map to some fields using the following code:

public ActionResult ConfigFieldToUseSynonyn()
        {
            string searchServiceName = "xxx";
            string apiKey = "123123123123123123123123123";

            SearchServiceClient serviceClient = new SearchServiceClient(searchServiceName, new SearchCredentials(apiKey));
            var index = serviceClient.Indexes.Get("produtos");

            index.Fields[2].SynonymMaps = new string[] { "marca-synonymmap" };
            index.Fields[7].SynonymMaps = new string[] { "marca-synonymmap" };

            serviceClient.Indexes.CreateOrUpdate(index, accessCondition: AccessCondition.IfNotChanged(index));

            return Content("OK");
        }

when I'm trying to find products using "dolve" it's not mapping to "dove". What am I missing?

Answer 1

The '@' in the synonymmap definition designates the string content as a literal, and the rule becomes dolve, douve => doven, with the "n" at the end. The query 'dolve' is rewritten to 'doven' by this synonym rule. If you delete the '@' prefix or the new line 'n' in the synonym definition, synonyms will operate as anticipated.
