Are hits that come from synonyms scored the same as the original query string?

Would you consider a feature request if clients would like to configure hits from original query are scored better compared to hits that come from synonyms? What questions would one need to answer for implementing something like this?

Feel free to always create feature requests. That's how we can gauge demand and we can prioritise appropriately 🙂

I just want make sure I dont pollute your jira issues with stuff that is clearly not worth implementing.

No matter what we think we typically only listen to what people want. We can always close issues later if it's deemed complex or not feasible. It's rare that we can have done that.
