Question

Ex.

Explicit rule: dog, canine => mutt

Equivalence rule: dog, canine

Answer 1

Hi Kriti

Yes, you are allowed to repeat words between different rules in a synonym map. In the context of Azure Cognitive Search, you can repeat words between different rules in a synonym map. Your example with both explicit and equivalence rules is valid and can coexist in the same synonym map.
