| Sometimes we search for a part when we do not know the part number. Maybe it
is a torso or maybe it is a decorated brick or something else that is hard to
find when we do not know the official title of the part.
As a basic example:
User is looking for this part:
But maybe the users native language is not English so their first thought is
not "Monkey". Maybe the user types into search one or more of the following:
"chimp", "chimpanzee", "gorilla", "orangutan", "ape", "primate", "baboon". The
desired part does not show up
So what if we add some of these "similar" keywords to the catalog entry to assist
with searching. The official item title will remain, but a few more items will
now appear in search results, making it easier to find something.
It does not have to be for every part, maybe just a handful of parts that are
more difficult to describe

It's certainly been suggested before.

Apparently, it's in the works.
