+\r
+I think the following pieces are needed:\r
+\r
+1) Enable synonyms when opening the database\r
+\r
+2) enable synonyms in the query parser\r
+\r
+These first two should be covered in the xapian docs\r
+\r
+3) load the synonyms from a file.\r
+   - this needs some infrastructure, and some decisions about how to\r
+   handle such configuration info.\r
+\r
+4) add the synonyms (using db.add_synonym)\r
