solr synonym multi word - bring synonym at top

Question

I am using solr search and everything is working fine, but if I put "video camera" synonym for "camcorder", it shows me all the results containing video, camera and camcorders which is perfectly fine.But is there a way to bring results for camcorder on the top and then show the rest.

Please help.Thanks

You can create a separate field textWithoutSynonyms without synomym filter and boost that field:

<field name="text" type="text_general"/>
<field name="textWithoutSynonyms" type="text_general_without_synonyms"/>

<copyField source="text" dest="textWithoutSynonyms" />

Then Your search handler config may look like that:

<str name="qf">text textWithoutSynonyms^100</str>
