Casemaker provides a thesaurus to aid with adding terms to your search query. To access the thesaurus, add a tilde (~) to the front of your search term(s). This tool should be used with caution because you cannot control the thesaurus terms that are added to your search. For example, the search “~dog” yielded expected hits on “terrier,” “canine,” and “bloodhound,” but also produced unexpected hits on “pursue,” “hunt,” “Hunter” (as a name), and “Pointer” (also as a name).
