Synonyms are useful to make sure that queries return all relevant results instead of just those that match a term exactly. For example, you might want a search for KY to also show results for Kentucky.
You can use files with lists of synonyms to improve results in Voyager's queries. There are some standard synonym files, but you can edit them and even create new ones. You can have Voyager use multiple synonym files during a query, for example if one file stores place name synonyms and another stores State and County synonyms.
Entries in the Synonym file have the syntax [Entry, synonym] for example:
Rd, Road
St, Street
Multiple synonyms are allowed, for example:
St, State, Street
Mt, Mount, Mountain
