Develop a new Word Bank Feature
While the existing features are great and helpful, things like pinning words, or favorite search terms, for me as a writer I find the capability to create my own custom word bank extremely intriguing. Here's an example to help you see what I'm envisioning. I search for exaggerate, I discover an idiom I really like 'blow out of proportion', then I select a heart icon to save it to my word bank. This would be a phenomenal feature, it may only require a simple plug-in, similar to many food blogs' custom favorites recipe box. Of course, this is just a…

Bring back idioms and expressions
I logged in today and noticed that idioms and expressions are no longer available on the left hand side column. This is where I spend 90% of my time and would love them back!

search select text
I think it would be great we are able to automatically search for a selected word when press the shortcut to search in the web extension. What I mean is, if I've selected a word and then when I use the shortcut to active the search on power thesaurus it automatically fill the input with the selected word.
1 voteMore details would be appreciated

Help to understand how strong a word is
It would be really useful to know how synonyms are sorted in their "seriousness". Sometimes I'm just not sure if the word is too strong or too weak to use.
Having some system (labels, numbers) to know would help.
For example, I would arrange from weakest to strongest:
Sympathize > Like > Adore > Admire > Love
Chilly > Spooky > Worrisome > Scary > Dreadful

Choose An (X) Amount of Words To Share Lists
What if there was a way to choose two (or potentially more) words and share their lists? For example, if I chose the word "Plan", and I want to find something that rhymes with "Plan", but is also a synonym, antonym, etc. of the second word, i.e "Man".
6 votesThank you for this idea! We have already discussed something similar. Specifically to be able to combine synonyms and broader terms. We will be reviewing all current ideas shortly and be planning for future updates accordingly.

Public API
PowerThesaurus needs a standard REST API for basic CRUD operations, so that other apps and services can talk to PowerThesaurus. Something like this:

Wikipedia support as a new category other than synonyms, definitions, etc?
Like the ‘https://www.thefreedictionary.com/’ app- I’m not sure how difficult it is to add wikipedia content (on your end)- but in words that have a Wikipedia page it would be cool to be able to have that as an option separate from the definition.
This is my favourite dictionary/thesaurus referencing app/website by far! I don’t want to have to go between it and the others if possible ;) hahaha (as long as it’s not too hard on the developers end that is)
1 voteWe are currently working on adding term definitions from Wiktionary to definitions.
As for Wikipedia articles as a separate list (e.g. encyclopedic articles) – we might consider this after some evaluation.
As an alternative this could be part of “definitions” with special list filter – dictionary or encyclopedia.
Please use comments for your thoughts on this.

The ability to add personal ‘tags’ to our glossary please!
On words that we have starred, it would be amazing to be able to add tags so we can organise them based on what they’re relevant to us for. Some dictionary apps/websites have the ability to add words to a list, which is good, but it would be cool to have tags like ‘adjectives’, ‘political’, ‘emotive’ etc and then filter the results so some aren’t lost.
(What i mean by ‘lost’)
So for example, ‘lost’ within a big list of adjectives I’d like to remember, etc.
Or, if I save my favourite words for art analysis, some of these may…1 voteWe are having an idea to implement multiple lists for favorites.
It would be possible to create personal list of adjectives and name it “adjectives”.
Would it be beneficial?

Download results as a text file
Add download feature that allows you to get a text file of the results for the word you are searching for. Thank You.
4 votesThis might be a useful feature for teachers and other professionals who use Power Thesaurus for further similar work.
Could you please use comments to give more info on planned usage? Should it be just a simple text file with terms one on each line?

American and English spellings of the same word
It makes little sense to me that American and English spellings of the same word have separate entries with different results. For example, behavior and behaviour, or colour and color. These entries should be combined in my opinion.
8 votesAt the moment our position is that American and English spellings have different usage based on demographics and locality. Hence the choice of best suited terms might be different. Please discuss…

Automatically show the "quick view" of the first word, in the search suggestion.
Currently, you have to hover the mouse over the word on the dropdown to have the quick view of this words synonyms. By automatically opening the quick view of the first word (which is most of the times the preferred result) makes the search lighting fast and real time, without the need to grab the mouse or press the "down" arrow.
