How to make excerpts highlight synonyms too.

[kiran_22_12]

I have implemented Synonyms in my lucene search. It works fine. And I am grabbing excerpts for each of my results hit.

When AEM is able to grab an excerpt from full text, it gives me the proper excerpt with highlighting, but if it is not able to grab an excerpt, it returns me the summary text as per the oak index configuration.

But my excerpts give me the highlights only when the exact searched word is present, how do I make my excerpts grab synonyms too?

I believe excerpt will only work with full text indexed property and not with synonyms. Synonyms words will only tell aem to also look for the configured synonyms word to search for.
