Consider setting expand=true at index time. That puts all the tokens in your index, and then you may not need to have any synonym processing at query time since all the variants will already be in the index.
As it is, you've replaced the words in the original with synonyms, essentially collapsed them down to a single word and then you have to do something at query time to get matches. If all the variants are in the index, you shouldn't have to. That's what I meant by "raw".
