Synonyms include in spite of that, despite that, nevertheless, nonetheless, on the other hand, in contrast and but.

-

(meaning too rare to warrant focus) Much more rarely (and arguably incorrectly), however can be used to intensify the word how, as when one says "However did you find her?" Grammarians would suggest using two words for that usage: "How ever did you find her?"
