I have round about 10k products from a grocery store. I want to be able to find products according to their generic type:

organic 1.5% fat milk = milk  
organic spelt spaghetti = noodles  
pink lady apple = apple  
...

What's the best way to accomplish a good and reliable search for products based on generic keywords which might be part of the product name?

Thank you and best,

tur-ing

Have a look at synonyms - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/synonyms.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/synonyms.html)
