Need your help with one more thing. What is the best way to support synonyms (we have our own custom list) with semantic search??
Couldn't find anything related to this in the documentation.

Hey there, this blog may be of use to help with your synonyms. [Boosting the power of Elasticsearch with synonyms | Elastic Blog](https://www.elastic.co/blog/boosting-the-power-of-elasticsearch-with-synonyms)
There's also the ability to manage synonyms with an Elastic App Search engine [Synonyms Guide | App Search documentation [8.8] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/current/synonyms-guide.html)
