title: Elasticsearch query by equivalent words
body: <p>I have an ES index where I store companies indexed by name. Is there any way so I can search by similar words ?</p>
  
  <p>For example I have the name "Discount Pets &amp; Supplies" and I want to also be able to query like "Discount Pets and Supplies", so basically I'm asking if there is a way to mark "&amp;" as equivalent to "and".</p>
  
  <p>Thank you,
  Teodor</p>
