Description Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2008-02-15 18:04:37 EST 
When searching using quick find in the Task List view it is usually necessary to try quite few keyword synonyms when looking for particular task (see for example bug 219115). 

To make things easier it would be neat to use thesaurus dictionary (i.e. ones from the OpenOffice [1]) and include synonyms into the filtering criteria (i.e. optionally from a popup menu in the "Find" entry field. Though for the case from bug 219115, openoffice thesaurus won't give good list of synonyms, e.g. "hide", "filter", "disappear".

For anyone interested in contributing this: please note that we would first have to get legal clearance on a suitable thesaurus.
