Include the ability to add topics to pre-existing words
I know you can re-add the same word with the topics appended, but this is unintuitive and is also unclear as to how it should work in corner cases.
I suggest an edit button appended on the right hand side of the column for each word, so as to allow the topics to then be corrected more intuitively.
5 votesRecently added pair pages now have an ability to add parts of speech and topics to pre-existing terms.

Separate nouns, verbs & adjectives into distinct groups.
Mixing them up together makes it hard to find the word you need.

I don't mind the new design & format, but find the actual search results to be unusable & inaccurate.
I used to be able to rely on this tool for good synonyms and suggestions but, unfortunately, the update has been destructive to the quality of the search results. I can find a few good results, but the overall quality is certainly lacking.
In the past, I really respected and enjoyed using this site. Please reconsider the changes.

Keep recent searches without losing them
I searched a hundred words with synonyms, then the next couple of days, I lose my recent searches, unable to search them back due to remembering problems. This idea allows me to keep recent searches without losing them due to updates or errors.
4 votesBoth mobile and desktop have this ability for registered users.

Include a “Combo Word Search" Feature
Searching for 2+ Words Together
would be great! I'd love to be able to search for COMMON synonyms between two related words. Perhaps you have this feature available and I have not yet discovered how to apply it successfully. I was looking for Ablution(s) synonyms, and hoped that by including/combining 1(or more) synonyms in my search, may add CONTEXT, FOCUS et al … Narrowing the search to more relevant, precise result(s) which is my goal. Example : Search [<-Ablution & Purification -> Together ](&/or others on the list) for Common synonyms - Thank You for your time and consideration. Great…4 votesPair pages are published now.
They can be accessed from synonym side menu or by searching for 2 terms with
‘and’ e.g. ‘love and passion’ would open this page: https://www.powerthesaurus.org/love+passion/synonyms -
Be mindful of fairness in words describing men versus women.
I looked up the phrase "wise old woman" and got no word list but only some web pages, including one describing crones. So I looked for synonyms for that, and they were all very negative, e.g. shrew, although crone is used by modern women to mean wise woman. I then looked up "wise old man" and got a lengthy list of wonderful synonyms--savant, philosopher, mastermind, etc. Women can be those things too, you know.

Add a way to clean search history.
Essentially the recent search history, while I'm aware goes away with time, is still clutter, especially if I want to keep Chrome open with the tab open. I'd like if there was a button of some type, or a SHIFT+DEL type of keyboard shortcut, where you could delete all or individual search history results you no longer need. This is important due to the fact it eventually starts clogging the results, making it hard to find certain words. Ideally, I'd like to think an option to simply not save search history would be nice as well.

Remove "sex offender" as a synonym for "sexual orientation"
Not only is this inaccurate, but also extremely offensive and harmful to members that identify with non-standard sexual orientations. Please update this entry to remove "sex offender" from this entry.

Hello, It seems that in recent iOS and Mac OS the speed of the audio is indeed too fast. It has been adjucted now for both first and second click (even slower). Please let us know if the issue is still there for you. Thank you for your feedback!

Please return the search bar to it's 'type-and-go' interface.
Bring back the way it would auto-select the previous searched word, so when switching quickly back and forth to search multiple searches, and tabs, you don't have to go through the extra trouble of erasing the previous word, to search the new one.
I keep searching frankenwords, and hate having to 'ctrl-a' every time I switch pages. As a writer, it ruins the flow.
3 votesThis has been resolved in April 2020.

Typing on the page begins a search.
Like on dict.cc - use JQuery to register any keyboard hit so that when you move between tabs and want to start a new search you don't need to click into the search bar before typing, would make things much easier, especially for those who prefer using a keyboard.
3 votesCompleted with a proper approach with keyboard navigation also present.

words that go together
Hello there, I often come across words that go together. For example, efficiency and effectiveness, performance and productivity, rapport and relationship. They are not synonyms. They could be collocations. I had a look but could not find a site that provides such a service. I use 'Power Thesaurus' everyday. Would it be possible to provide that service. If it is not possible would you be kind enough to suggest some solutions or sites that provide them. thanks and regards sajeer
