Aliases

Tab for managing search word synonyms and replacements.

Purpose

Aliases extend search by linking different spellings. Useful for:

• Fixing typos
• Adding synonyms
• Transliteration
• Linking brands to alternative names

Modes

Synonym (Add)

The word is added to the query along with the original.

Example: alias whiskas → whiskas

• Query: “whiskas food”
• Search for: “whiskas”, “whiskas”, “food”

Replace

The original word is fully replaced by the alias.

Example: alias wiskas → whiskas (with replace flag)

• Query: “wiskas food”
• Search for: “whiskas”, “food”

Tips

Use query stats

Check the Queries tab:

1. Find zero-result queries
2. See if relevant content exists
3. If it does — add an alias

Don’t overuse

• Add aliases only for real synonyms
• Avoid very broad replacements
• Test search after adding

Morphology order

Aliases are applied before morphological analysis. If a word is in the morphology dictionary, its forms are also used.
