I hope I am sending this email to the right place. It is not about a 'bug'; it is about improving the quality of the Thesaurus in Writer 25.2.5.2.

Having migrated from MS Word to Libre Office Writer, I’ve found the English Thesaurus included in Writer hopelessly inadequate.

Would it be possible for the developers create or find a better Thesaurus?

Just as an example, a search for a synonym for ‘peered'’ in Writer produced the result shown in the attached file. The Thesaurus appears to not understand English grammar. 'Peered' is a past participle of the verb To Peer, e.g. To Look; it is not a noun. This result is similar to some of the other results I get when I want to find a synonym for a word in Writer. I have even wondered if Writer Thesaurus is going by the sound of a word and not the grammar.

See for example File Hippo: /https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/another-word-for/peered.html/

Surely Writer Thesaurus can be improved significantly.
