Searching in profile fields and synonyms (not only in categories) would be good :)

Title: Extending search module » Allow for synonym searching
Version: 6.x-dev » 7.x-dev

The profile feature request is a duplicate.

I'm therefore renaming to add a synonym feature. The site administrator would presumably maintain a list of synonyms for words that would either get indexed during the analysis phase or added into the search query (couch OR sofa).

This seems like something to do in a contributed module rather than in the core of the search module.

It could easily be done via the hook_search_preprocess() API, where the module would maintain the synonym list, and any time you search/index you would put synonyms into the search index.
