Hi Sean,

If you recall earlier this month, I noted that I had to type the full "type
2 diabetes mellitus" to get a match with my ICD10 dictionary:

(I made the dictionary myself and posted my solution to YouTube:

I appreciate the response you gave, pointing me to the "type 2 diabetes"
direct matches in MEDLINEPLUS, MSH, NCI, CHV, etc.

Those make sense to me, but I worry that users are typically used to just
ICD10 and won't understand the other coding schemas. Can you provide
details on improving the ICD10 dictionary concept matches? In the worst
case scenario, can I update the dictionary by hand to improve certain
common concept matches?

Thanks,
