Acronyms are implemented as a single acronym key with one or list of corresponding phrase values. In the following example the key “USA” is associated to the phrase “United States of America”, and the key “DVD” is associated to both the phrases “Digital Versatile Disc” and “Digital Video Disc”:
USA = United States of America
DVD = Digital Versatile Disc, Digital Video Disc
Acronyms can augment a query in two ways:
Acronym expansion - when an acronym key is found in a user’s search terms, all the corresponding phrases are added to the original query.
Acronym resolution - when an acronym phrase is found in a user’s search terms, the corresponding key is added to the original query.
Acronyms are not applied to TEXT metadata fields.

Sybase Search exports acronyms with synonyms to an XML
file. For data integrity purposes, the original XML file is not
overwritten. Sybase Search writes the new settings into an XML file
available at the following location:
install_location\OmniQ\data\config\locale\QueryAugmentor_en.104.xml
Click OK.
Loading
from XML
From the Metadata Configuration Summary page, click Acronyms.
Click Load from XML.
Click Load, then confirm whether you want to load synonyms and acronyms from your XML file.
Click OK.
The acronyms are loaded from the default XML file available at:
install_location\OmniQ\config\locale\QueryAugmentor_en.xml.
After you load synonyms and acronyms from the XML file,
re-run Categories by doing a “Refresh All” from
the Categories page to take into account the configuration changes
to ensure that the category and View Category results are in synchronization.
Also, both acronyms and synonyms are stored in the same file, so
you are not allowed to load one without loading the other.
