It sounds like you are on the right track ... the key isearch on a field
with synonyms expanded (at index time) and facet on a field with synonyms
collapse (at index time)
try chagning the fieldtype you facet on to be a TextField with the
KeywordTokenizer, and then use the SynonymFilter on it ... that should
work (but i haven't tried it)
if you format your synonyms file properly (commas instead of arrows), you
can use the exact smae file for both fieldtypes, even though one will
expand, and the other will collapse.
