Not able to get thesaurus to work on MOSS 2007

Steps

1. Use the KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837847
   
2. The "Office Sharepoint Server Search" is the service that uses the thesauraus ts*.xml files.
   
3. There is a file tsneu.xml that is used for search. This is case if your language is neutral. Change the appropriate ts*.xml file.
   
4. You have to find the right location for tsneu.xml. The easiest way to find the location is to use FileMon.exe.
   
5. Set this filter in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\12.0\Data\*.xml" in the filemon.exe. The results will look like below.
   
   
   
6. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\12.0\Data\Office Server\Applications\829dd501-3ad7-4e27-88a6-67721fab8d4a\Config
   
7. Now change the tsneu.xml as below. I added "Sales" and "Kumaran" as synonyms.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

   Original File

   Changed File

   <XML ID="Microsoft Search Thesaurus"> <thesaurus xmlns="x-schema:tsSchema.xml"> <diacritics_sensitive>0</diacritics_sensitive> <expansion> <sub>Internet Explorer</sub> <sub>IE</sub> <sub>IE5</sub> </expansion> <replacement> <pat>NT5</pat> <pat>W2K</pat> <sub>Windows 2000</sub> </replacement> <expansion> <sub>run</sub> <sub>jog</sub> </expansion> </thesaurus>

   <XML ID="Microsoft Search Thesaurus"> <thesaurus xmlns="x-schema:tsSchema.xml"> <diacritics_sensitive>0</diacritics_sensitive> <expansion> <sub>Internet Explorer</sub> <sub>IE</sub> <sub>IE5</sub> </expansion> <replacement> <pat>NT5</pat> <pat>W2K</pat> <sub>Windows 2000</sub> </replacement> <expansion> <sub>run</sub> <sub>jog</sub> </expansion> <expansion> <sub>sales</sub> <sub>kumaran</sub> </expansion> </thesaurus> </XML>

8. Save this tsnue.xml to location found with the Filemon.exe tool.
9. Start the "Office Sharepoint Server Search" service

That's It !! . You can see the results of searching "kumaran" bring up all the sales results.
Image 2 gives the orginal "sales" results.
