So I was checking out this amazing new computational search engine and discovered it has some fascinating linguistics features.

Does anyone know what a 'synonym map' is, or how it is meant to be used? Alpha produces them on anything it takes to be input as a word (try 'factor' and redirect it to consider it as a word).

It also provides amazing summaries of relevant information. I can see it saving lots of time checking multiple sources...

It is very cool! I just wasted a lot of time over there, putting in my family's birth dates.

I don't know what a synonym map is, though.

I was intending to post about this, but I see I've been beaten to it!

Dunno for sure what a synonym map or network might be, but at a guess it shows the main meanings of the word as synonyms, then shows graphically how many other words are in turn synonyms of those main words.
