Synonym Expansion in Google

This may be old news to many: Google can do synonym expansion.

For example, a search for cataloging digital resources gives you about 20 million web pages containing those three words. Add a tilde in front of a word, and Google will also search for synonyms of that word. So cataloging ~digital resources returns over 60 million pages includes those words or synonyms of the word “digital”, such as “computer” and “electronic”.
