We are using [elastic.co](http://elastic.co) to search images in our ecommerce with ELSER.

Knowing that AI/ML will eventually commit a faux-paus, we need to be able to add negative words to each item so they won't show up on searches with that term

The most important example is to block images with black people to appear on search terms with words like "monkey" or "gorilla", and vice-versa

Can you check if the "Curations" feature meets your needs:
