[Feature request] Search for synonyms #94

This may be a bit of a pie-in-the-sky idea, but I wonder, if I search for e.g. shop, if it would be possible to also search for words like store and market with a very low score. This would especially be helpful when there are no results for the given search term.

It's definitely possible, there are different solutions to solve this. Those solutions all have trade-offs: a synonyms approach is easy but you need to embed an exhaustive dictionary for each supported language, the NLP approach is context-aware but will only work with words that are present in your corpus.

I'll take a deeper look when I have more free time 👍

Good news: I had more free time this evening.

Work in progress, yadda yadda. It uses OpenAI so you'll have to provide your own key :) Truly an incredible tool.
