Setting Up Synonyms for Misspelled Brands
TLDR Henrik had trouble setting up a synonym for a misspelled brand. Kishore Nallan suggested making 'hey' the root to match 'hay', resolving the issue.

08:40 AMI'm brand new to the community - so sorry if my question here in the lounge is misplaced.
I'm have a test setup on typesense cloud.
One of the faceted properties is "Brand" and there is a brand called "Hay" which is often misspelled as "hey"
I've tried to setup a synonym as this:
Root: Hay
Synonym: hey
But after that setup I still get zero results when searching for 'hey'
Am I using the feature wrong?
I'm querying by productName, brandName, description and the word "Hay" is present is all three of those properties.

08:45 AMhey should be the root if you want hey to match hayHenrik
09:18 AMWhat about case sensitivity?
Do I have to create 2 entries in synonyms
Hay hey
hay hey
