# CandidateRetrievalOperator

The query operator to use between terms in passage extractor queries. This parameter applies only when Type is set to `PassageExtractor`.

By default, Answer Server sends queries to the data IDOL Content component with a space character between the query terms. Set `CandidateRetrievalOperator` if you want to use a different operator between terms.

In general, Micro Focus recommends that you use the default value.
