Thats a lot. Can you give some examples?

Exactly. Orders of filters are very important.
(choice of Tokenizer and CharFilter also)
For example if you have StemFilter before SynonymFilter then your syn.txt
should contain stemmed synonyms.
IMO
Absalom\, Absalom!, William Faulkner is an ugly entry.
absalom absalom, william faulkner is a beautiful entry.

Purpose of tokenizer is to break free form text into words (tokens).
May be you can try to use solr.MappingCharFilterFactory with the mapping.txt
"absalom absalom" => "william faulkner"
But i am not sure if it is a good idea.
Also I am not sure about its case sensitivity.
