By default, Zing uses all active synonym dictionaries when a user performs a text search. Search administrators can disable synonym dictionary usage on a per-table basis.

## Before you begin

Role required: ts_admin or admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSystem DefinitionText Indexes.
2. Select the table for which you want to change search behavior.  
   The system displays the Text index record for the table.
3. Select Disable synonym, so the check appears.
4. Select Update.
