It is possible to expand compound search terms to multi-term synonyms. That is, if your Drupal site content contains text such as "dark room" or "key note", and you don't want your users to get No results pages on searches for "darkroom" or "keynote" (respectively), you'll need to do a bit of extra work to make this happen.
Drupal's strength as a content management framework is in its ability to effectively manage and display structured content through its Web user interface. However, the out-of-the-box system assumes all data is local (stored in the database). This can present challenges when attempting to integrate remote data stored in other systems. You cannot, by default, display non-local records as pages. While setting this up is in itself a challenge, it is an even bigger challenge to manipulate, aggregate and display this data through Views.
