Hi,
Is there a way to provide weight/boost for synonyms? For example, I have synonyms: ["laptop", "notebook"]. I want that score of "laptop" should be more then score of "notebook" and I want to specify this score.
I have found that Apache Solr introduced Weighted Synonyms. I tried to do the same in ElasticSearch but it doesn't work
```auto
tiger, tigre|0.9
```

Thank you!
