# CategoryExpandTopics

Allows you to expand a query that might contain category topic names into a full query, which replaces the category names with the queries that they represent.

NOTE:

This is an administrative action that can be sent only by users that belong to an authorization role that allows the `Admin` standard role, or which enables the action explicitly. See Authorization Roles Configuration Parameters.

NOTE:

`CategoryExpandTopics` works only with categories that have Boolean training. For example, if you have a category A with training `cat AND dog` and category B with training `apples AND bananas`, sending the `CategoryExpandTopics` action with Expand set to `A AND B` would result in IDOL Category Component expanding this string to `cat AND dog AND apples AND bananas`.

## Example

    http://localhost:9020/action=CategoryExpandTopics&Expand=genome

This action returns the expanded query represented by the topic `genome`.
