That's a lot of work; can't expect a developer to be a grammer grad as well.
It would be nice if they supplied a full English thesarus that could be put
online and modified as needed as I think more people are upset that they are
not getting the results they expect from a thesarus search, this is why
they're doing it. Inflectional searches seem to be fully functional and
releasing a full-text thesarus search should be fully functional as well.

I think I seen a post from you stating that you could get a thesarus from
Word. Is this true and if so, can you tell me how I can obtain and install it.

Thank you Hilary. I seen a lot of replies from you and I'm sure there are
many who appreciate that you are doing this as I do.

With best regards,

Wayne

I tried updating the tsENG.xml file but can't seem to get a thesaurus search
to return a result other then the key word. car returns car, auto returns
auto. Can you recommend anthing?

The query:

SELECT name
   FROM dbo.categories
   WHERE freetext(name, 'car')

SELECT name
   FROM dbo.categories
   WHERE contains(name, 'FORMSOF(THESAURUS, "car")')

Niether query works.

Here's the xml file.

<XML ID="Microsoft Search Thesaurus">

   <thesaurus xmlns="x-schema:tsSchema.xml">
    <diacritics_sensitive>0</diacritics_sensitive>

       <expansion>
           _{Internet Explorer}
           _IE
           _IE5
       </expansion>
       <replacement>
           <pat>NT5</pat>
           <pat>W2K</pat>
           _{Windows 2000}
       </replacement>
       <expansion>
           _run
           _jog
       </expansion>
       <expansion>
           _car
           _auto
       </expansion>
   </thesaurus>

</XML>

Thanks again.
