# Synonyms

You can create a list of synonyms of words so that when users search for particular words, the results also include synonyms of their search terms. For example, you can set up a synonym group so that when a user searches for dog, the results that they see also include documents with the words labrador, poodle, terrier, and so on.

Caution: You cannot add Boolean operators such as AND, OR, or NOT to your synonym groups.
