Adding terms to the case thesaurus

TextMap includes a global thesaurus that helps process advanced, full-text query searches using the LIKE operator. Search results will include synonyms found in the global thesaurus or synonyms you add to the case thesaurus that are specific to the current case. A synonym is a word having the same or nearly the same meaning as another. Case synonyms have a maximum character limit of 30 and display in alphabetical order.

For more information, see Learn about the LIKE operator.
