Yeah - it is kind of secret, right :-). We are bit behind on docs, but here goes!

1. Create a new field type that uses the "SynonymAnalyzer" in Dynamicweb LuceneIndexProvider. Give it a system name, i.e. WithSynonymAnalyzer (#Dump 1)
2. Add a new field to index using this new field type. In this test I use the product name and index it using this analyzer. (Dump#2)
3. Now go to /Files/System/Repositories/{NameOfYourRepository} and create 2 files (find examples attached to this thread (WithSynonymAnalyzer.zip)
   1. A config file that handles what analyzers to use (WithSynonymAnalyzer.config)  (Dump#3)
   2. An xml file containing the list of synonyms (WithSynonymAnalyzer_synonyms.xml) (Dump#4)
   3. These files have names based on the system name of the field defined in the first step. In this way you can have multpile configurations
4. Add a query expression that uses this new field (Dump#5)
5. Ensure you have products that uses the synonyms (Example Dump#6)
6. Run the index after adding the field and the products have words using the synonyms.
7. You are ready to rock and roll - searching for any of the synonyms will give you products using either of the synonyms (Dump#7)
