Adding synonyms to your search engine's knowledge base helps improve relevance and content discoverability. ### How to Use Synonyms #### Adding Synonyms 1. Go to the **Synonyms** page in the [dashboard](https://dashboard.direqt.ai/login). 2. Enter the terms you want to associate with each other. 3. Click "Save". #### Deleting Synonyms Click on the "X" button next to the pair of terms. Removing a synonym mapping will revert search behavior to its original state. ### Examples #### Formal vs. Informal Language Many users search with casual terms, while your content might use more formal language. * "Heart attack" ↔ "Myocardial infarction" #### Acronyms vs. Full Names Industry terms often have both an acronym and a full name. * "1PD" ↔ "First Party Data" --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.direqt-search.com/managing-results/synonyms.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
