Algolia has actually a very decent synonyms support:
* mono & multi-words synonyms,
* typo-tolerance is compliant with synonyms,
* matching synonyms are highlighted,
* prefix search works also on synonyms (even on multi words).
A v2 of the synonyms API will be released in the next few days including:
* dedicated API endpoints (leveraging existing synonyms but also Algolia's "alternative corrections" and "placeholders")
* new edition UI (with search & filtering capabilities)
* one/bi direction synonyms
- softwaredoug 10y agonice I stand corrected. The first list is what I knew about! This is actually an interesting dividing line. As you get more sophisticated modeling fuzzier concepts over just synonyms (synonyms are just one tool for this) then I think you get out of algolias sweet spot. When text pushed into a feature space (which happens quite a lot when you're mapping vernaculars) you begin to gain more from Solr and ESs depth of customizability.
