Inadequate Thesaurus in Writer

[Roger Squier]

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.
