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

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