[Dropped] Thesaurus using wrong alternates

I was writing one of my stories and I use the thesaurus to sometimes check to see if I am using the right spelling.

Peers is showing up as urine instead of alternates for peerage IE a jury of your peers.
Peer shows up just fine.

Piers is showing up as a private eye or a transcendental number.
Pier shows up just fine.

Pear or pears is an edible fruit, but also a false fruit?

So, if anyone knows how to fix that go right ahead.

Unless it is reported as a bug, the relevant anyone won't know about it. This site is for user support, provided by users; developers don't visit here.

Apparently so - Is pear a true fruit? - Quora

The point being is that it really does not bother me but might bother someone that has a login for Bugzilla.
The chance that I will ever log back on for another issue is slim to none, so I will leave the issue for a user who feels it is worth reporting.
The other thing is that developer might just be looking.
That someone might know how to edit the thesaurus and tell me.

The Pear is a joke add on.
