Best way to replace abbreviated words in a search (e.g. : "av" for "avenue")

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello everyone,

I'm doing a REST application that allows users to search on addresses
indexed in ElasticSearch.
To increase its effectiveness, I have to find results on abbreviated words
(eg : "str" for "street", "av" for "avenue" ...)

I'm not sure how to do that, is there a tool in ElasticSearch dedicated to
this kind of functionality ?
Somebody can help me with that ? : )

I have successfully used a Synonym Token Filter to do this, but I had access to a nice file of street type synonyms.
