Wait, I thought the fuzzy match is invoked with a ~. I am not invoking any ~
but expanding my query terms with the synonyms at query time. So from what I
understarnd, when I query for James, internally, Solr would expand using
synonym search to James, Jim, Games, Jameson. So I guess, the original

I'm not sure about your approach, turning off most of the features
which produce a similarity measure in a vsm and then wanting to sort
by a similarity could lead to pain. (I don't know your usecase so this
could still be valid)
One approach to, (well what I think your usecase might be...) is to
