Description
I learned some things today. The first of which, is that when you smash together some sounds, it's called an elision. They're not very common in English, but they're pretty common in French (they also happen in Catalon, Irish and Italian).
Elisions should be stripped out of search keywords because they change the word and make it harder to find what you're looking for. This fixes that by creating an array of elisions that should be stripped from search terms. I only added the common list in French at the moment, primarily because that's what Elastic search does by default, but we may want to expand this in the future.
