We talked about this some in our data viz call today.

Even though there are some rough edges to this, we think this is an improvement to the status quo. I want to chisel this into a nice PR in a future cooldown.

One thing that's a bit cumbersome in the current implementation is that our current FuzzySeach implementation doesn't easily allow for multiple words/aliases to map to the same entity.
