nice I stand corrected. The first list is what I knew about!

This is actually an interesting dividing line. As you get more sophisticated modeling fuzzier concepts over just synonyms (synonyms are just one tool for this) then I think you get out of algolias sweet spot. When text pushed into a feature space (which happens quite a lot when you're mapping vernaculars) you begin to gain more from Solr and ESs depth of customizability.
