Thesaurus databases for TeXstudio

Question

I am looking for English Thesaurus databases to add to my TexStudio environment. Can you please direct me where can I find such thing? Which dictionary should I take from OpenOffice or LibreOffice so I will be able to ctrl+shift+F8 on words and see its synonymous.

Answer 1

The latest one I was able to find was from LibreOffice, last updated Jan 2017. It does say that it is a dictionary, but I find it works fine as a thesaurus as well.

For example, the word happy gives this:

If you would like to know how to make the thesaurus work in TeXstudio, see my other answer here. (Your question only asked about where to obtain such a thesaurus file).

Answer 2

To preciseley answer your question, see Troys answer, but i think you have the english database preinstalled. Like the french and italien aswell. To simply pick the database go Configure TeXstudio -> Language Checking -> 'Spell Check' section.

Click the Thesaurus Database folder and pick the desired language. th_en_US_v2 in your case.
