Build Your Synonym Groups

Build Your Synonym Groups

A search for one term in a synonym group returns results for all terms in the group. For example, a search for thumb drive returns results for flash drive and memory stick when these three terms are in a synonym group.

There are two types of synonym groups.

Standard synonyms: Common English language synonym groups compiled and made available to all orgs for Salesforce Knowledge entities. Standard synonyms are enabled by default.

Custom synonym groups: Synonyms created specifically for an org by the admin. You can create custom synonym groups for these objects:

  • Case
  • Chatter Feed
  • File
  • Knowledge Article
  • Idea
  • Question
  • Service Appointment
  • Service Resource
  • Service Territory
  • Work Order
  • Work Order Line Item

To set up synonym groups:

  1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Synonyms, and then select Synonyms. You can’t edit or view standard groups. You can only disable all standard synonyms.
  2. To create a custom synonym group, click New in Custom Synonym Groups. You can create up to 10,000 synonym groups with up to six terms in each group.
