I would like to search by synonym (e.g. LA => Los Angeles)

[ultrasaurus]

for the "autocomplete" type (which is basically do-what-I-mean for search) where we search names...

in College Score, we would like to search for MIT and find Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or UCLA and find University of California-Los Angeles

in our cities data, we might want to search for LA and find Los Angeles, or NYC and find New York
