solr query time synonyms

I wanted to take a look at query time synonyms. I just downloaded solr 7.1.0, started it up and created a core and added this to the synonym file 'db,database,data base'. When I go to the analysis page and select text_general for the field and enter "getting to first base is necessary" into the index text box and add "db" to the query text box. When I run analysis it shows a hit on the term "base".

Is there a way around this? Are the synonyms setup incorrectly?

According to your configuration you are stating that "db" "database" "data base" are synonyms.

The analysis tool will highlight the term base just because it calculates a quick intersection I guess.

If you actually index a document and run a query, this is the query parsed and expanded:

"rawquerystring": "name:db",
"querystring": "name:db",
"parsedquery": "((+name:data +name:base) name:database name:db)",
"parsedquery_toString": "((+name:data +name:base) name:database name:db)",

Focusing on this part of the expansion (+name:data +name:base) , you can see that both the terms are required.

So the document containing "getting to first base is necessary" in a text_general field, will not match the query.
