JR54149: Avoid returning a smaller result set when the Solr minimum match option is used with synonyms.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This feature only applies when the Solr minimum match option
  (mm) is used.
  
  The number of terms in the search query might change if any of
  the terms has synonyms. As the length of the query changes the
  result of the query might be reduced to a smaller set due to the
   minimum match condition. In some cases, the query returns no
  results.
