[Feature Request] Support for synonyms. #24

Open JuxtNorth opened 9 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. As a user of this dictionary, sometimes I search for a term, I also like to discover terms that are similar to the term that I searched. For instance, searching for "method" should also show "function" as a similar term.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to see support for synonyms in the search functionality of the dictionary. This means that when I search for a term, the dictionary should also consider synonyms of that word or words that are similar to that term and return relevant results.

Additional context This feature would greatly enhance the usability and effectiveness of the dictionary, especially for users who may not be familiar with the exact terminology used in the field of development and technology. It would make searching more powerful and intuitive, ultimately improving the overall user experience.

DevTerms already has Meilisearch's synonyms feature enabled but has no synonyms set right now. I'll look into how to properly set this up when I'm free Docs for reference later: https://www.meilisearch.com/docs/learn/configuration/synonyms
