Well, as much as I love the appliance, I wasn't really recommending it for your use, as it's fairly expensive if you were to buy it just to solve this one problem. I was just pointing out that Solr/Lucene probably have similar synonym features. That said, yes, the appliance can index all sorts of content in addition to web pages. Database content, filesystem content, CMS/DMS content, Google Apps content, etc, etc. So, you could very easily build a search against your MySQL data that would use synonyms - in fact, we actually do that in the GSA classes I teach. If you have any questions about the Google Search Appliance, feel free to contact me off-list. Fig Leaf Software is a Google Enterprise partner - and the first certified Enterprise training partner - and we sell, implement, and train people on the appliance and on Google Apps. We provide quite a bit of training on behalf of Google, to other Google Enterprise partners, as well as to the public at large.
