2.3.2 Synonym Filtering
It is the process of synonym mapping. Each token is looked up in the list of synonyms and if a match is found, then the synonym is emitted in place of the token. The position value of the new tokens are set such they all occur at the same position as the original token

2.3.4 Word delimiter (splitting)
It is the process of splitting tokens at word delimiters. The rules for determining delimiters are as follows:
- A change in case within a word: "CamelCase" -> "Camel", "Case"
- A transition from alpha to numeric characters or vice versa:"Gonzo5000" -> "Gonzo", "5000" ; "4500XL" -> "4500", "XL"
- Non-alphanumeric characters (discarded): "hot-spot" -> "hot", "spot"
- A trailing "'s" is removed: "O'Reilly's" -> "O", "Reilly"
- Any leading or trailing delimiters are discarded: "-hot-spot" -> "hot", "spot"
2.3.5 Lower case conversion
Any uppercase letters in a token are converted to the equivalent lowercase token. All other characters are left unchanged.

3.4 Solr-specific sorting features
- If the data contains more than one space then they are treated as a single space.
- All data beginning with a numeral are arranged ahead of any data beginning with a letter.
- Data consisting of a single word precedes any data beginning with the same word and followed by other words.
- Data beginning with Articles (a, an and the) are displayed in ascending order.
- Numbers at beginning or within the data are arranged in arithmetical order and sorted in ascending order.
- Punctuation in numbers, as in other text, has no arrangement value (and sorted in ascending order).
- Decimal fractions are arranged according to their arithmetical value (and sorted in ascending order).
