This is a configuration mistake. By default, the limit_urls_to is set to
match $(start_url), e.g.
start_url: http://www.foo.com/searchdummy.html
limit_urls_to: $(start_url)

Since all URLs must contain the full limit_urls_to pattern, if you specify
one specific document in the start_url, only that one document will be
indexed.

Are you sure that the htdig.conf configuration file will point to that
particular synonym file? Are you sure that when you run htfuzzy, it can
read that file?

Also be sure that you have permission to create the synonym database
(i.e. write to that file and/or directory)
