Hi All, I wish to be able to search on: 10 " 10 inches etc where " is a synonym for inches. I saw post : [Synonym analyzer issue in elastic search](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/synonym-analyzer-issue-in-elastic-search/194880) but no reply. I do not know what a good strategy for this is given double quote is a punctuation character and generally removed from the indexed content. Is there a strategy for doing this, perhaps map " -\> some higher plane character and add a synonym for "inch", "inches" to that character. This is for a store type search app, so searching this way is common. all thoughts appreciated, Dave ---
