replace / add table (keywords)

[audiogalaxy]

Hallo, I was wandering for some great trick by Phil (or some very experienced user!) to create some "conversion / add tables" to work on keywords (or keywords-like fields) as I'm trying to explain as follows:

WAY 1) search and replace keyword : given the keyword "red" (if found) in the keyword (subject...) field among other keywords, it has to be replaced with <something>
examples for <something> = rouge /// red color /// green /// red led  /// red lights /// carta

WAY 2) search keyword, ADD a list of keywords: given the word "apple" (if found) it must be added a list of the following keywords: red, yellow, green, vegetable, food and drink, healthy food ... ... and so on.

this with LISTS of add/replacements

so that I could replace a list of the same things with some other things in my "dictionaries"

A list of keywords related to people, another to abstract concepts, another with typical orthographic errors...

(is there a chance to have another way to correct orthographical errors "automatically"?)

Thanks to everyone trying to think about this... but MANY thanks to everyone trying to SOLVE this!!!!!!!

You will find it is tricky to do this properly.  You can't just replace "red" with "green" for example.  What happens if a keyword is "reduction", or "Red Barn"?

If you can figure out how to handle all cases like this, then the best way to do this is with a user-defined tag in a config file.  This can certainly be done, but I don't have the time right now or enough details to be able to do this for you.

Try the config file in this post.  Given a keyword in the DATA section, it will be replaced by all the keywords that follow it.

Thanks Star! I'll give a try!
