Review Comment:
   Sure that works but I wouldn't call that a solution to be honest. I am again 
raising the usability here. Currently this filter has a very high loading cost 
and this change would add thread contentions on a non-trivial task (searching 
the graph). As I said in the previous PR, it would be preferable to add an 
offline path that builds a static graph. It's also possible to generate the 
synonym rules offline by performing the knn search on the entire vocabulary. 
The advantage of such approach is that the existing synonym filter could be 
reuse. 
   I don't see how the current approach would be usable in a real world 
scenario.
