Increase number of synonyms limit for query expansion

Query expansion via synonyms is a very powerful yet easy to configure feature. However, the current limitation of 500 entries across all expanded_terms arrays is too low for most use cases. For enterprise corpora covering a multitude of topics, we...

Discovery comprehensive handling of domain-specific dictionaries
