Thank you for your suggestions. I can't do a proper testing on that yet as I'm currently using a 4GB RAM normal PC machine, and all these probably requires more RAM that what I have. I've tried running the setup with 20 synonyms file, and the system went Out of Memory before I could test anything.
For your option 2), do you mean that I'll need to download a synonym database (like the one with over 20MB in size which I have), and index them into an Ad Hoc Solr Core to manage them? I probably can only try them out properly when I can get the server machine with more RAM.
