Perhaps I'm missing a crucial step?
Current setup:
D6.12
Taxonomy is enabled (am not using Categories)
Synonyms 6.x-1.0
Taxonomy_vtn
Taxonomy menu
Taxonomy hide
Taxonomy term permissions
I'm not sure what else you'd need to know about the installation.
In my taxonomy, I have a vocabulary:
"Trades"
Carpenter
Rough
Finish
Mason
Stonemason
Concrete
I want to use numbers as well, b/c the industry has a standardized coding system to label all the various trades and subtrades and the users should be able to search for that code as well as the word. So I thought that it would work to install Synonyms and then put that code number (06 = Carpenter) into the synonyms box for each term. It's not searchable. I enabled Search and Carpenter brings up the node that has been tagged with Carpenter. But 06 gives no result.
What am I missing?
Thanks!

Seeing as this module changes the way search indexes are built, I imagine that when it's installed on a pre-existing site it's likely that
you may have to flush and rebuild the search index to see results.
You should do that from the search admin options, then run cron.php a few times (until it loads quickly).
If this is the issue, perhaps instructions should be added to the project.

So this is what I did:
at admin/settings/search,
- turned down the minimum characters for indexing (as I am trying to index two digit tradesman's codes).
- clicked the re-index site button
- manually ran cron (super easy to do b/c I am running the adminstration menu module so can do it from the Drupal logo fly out menu)
Now it is indexing my synonyms.
Thank you!
I'd love to see some documentation for this module.

That's great news. Thanks for following it up.
I'll leave the issue open so the maintainer can add instructions about this to the README or project page. It's simple (I guessed it without ever using the module), but deserves to be documented for everyone IMO.
