Error: A Term must be only a single word

[fabmeyer]

Why no multi word support? I need definitions and synonyms of expressions consisting of multiple words.

[johnbumgarner]

Can you provide some examples?

[isobarbaric]

if you're only trying to find definitions and synonyms for individual words in that expression, you might be able to use .split() and run a for loop through the words filtered out by .split()

[fabmeyer]

@isobarbaric No I am not trying to find definitions to individual single words.
@johnbumgarner For example "smart cities" or "rare earth" or "bio bases" or "video games" or "animal rights"... Meaning of these are different to their single words.

@fabmeyer

I developed a Python Module called WordHoard that can query for these multiple word expressions.

from wordhoard import Synonyms
results = Synonyms(search_string='video games').find_synonyms()
print(results)
['computer game', 'computerized game', 'electronic game', 'video game']

from wordhoard import Synonyms
results = Synonyms(search_string='rare earth').find_synonyms()
print(results)
['base metal', 'lanthanide', 'lanthanoid', 'lanthanon', 'native metal', 'noble metal', 'oxide', 'precious metal', 'rare metal', 'rare-earth element', 'rare-earth metal']
