Return synonym matched for a word

[charley-earlytracks]

Hello,

It would be useful to be able to retrieve the synonym that was matched for a specific word.

When calling the
autocomplete.search("string", max_cost=2, size=3)
We could add a boolean parameter return_synonym that would allow us to capture the synonym that matched such that we would receive a list of tuple
words_and_synonyms = autocomplete.search("string", max_cost=2, size=3, return_synonym=True)
words_and_synonyms
[("snake","python"), ("programming language", "python"),("framework","pytorch")]

I tried to look into the code to find a way to do it, or even create a whole new autocomplete based only on the synonyms, but it won't always work as the links used are sometimes not the one created using the autocomplete with words and synonyms

Hi @charley-earlytracks
We lose the synonym information because we create new "trie" branches for the synonyms from what I recall.

Hey @seperman ,
Thank you for your prompt answer.
I've looked at the code and indeed, you are creating a new Trie branch for the synonyms.
I was just wondering how complex it would be to find the synonym that was matched.

Apart from that, great job with this tool! It works like a charm.
