# Use Boost Rules in Queries

HPE QMS does not apply boost rules by default. You must enable them in individual queries to HPE QMS.

To use boost rules in your query

- Send queries with the `ExpandQuery` parameter set to `True`.

  NOTE:

  The query must have a `FieldText` parameter to match boost rules. This `FieldText` can use only the `MATCH` and `EQUAL` field operators.

For example:

    action=Query&Text=phone&FieldText=MATCH{UK}:place&ExpandQuery=True

This query searches for boost rules that match the word phone, and that contain the `FieldText` expression `MATCH{UK}:place`. HPE QMS then adds the additional FieldText from the rule to the query to IDOL Server.

NOTE:

This query also searches for synonymous terms.

If your boost rules contain a `DATABASERESTRICTION` field, set the `SynonymDatabaseMatch` parameter to `True` to apply the restriction. By default, HPE QMS does not apply the database restriction.

Refer to the QMS Reference for more information.
