TERM

The TERM field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents with a specified field whose value contains a conceptual match of one or more terms specified by you. A conceptual match exists if a term you specify matches a term in a specified field after it has been stemmed.

NOTE: If the language that you are using does not match the DefaultLanguageType that you have specified in the IDOL Content Component configuration file, you must add the LanguageType parameter to your query action.

Format

FieldText=TERM{yourTerms}:yourFields
yourTerms

Type one or more terms. A document is only returned if one of yourFields contains a value that includes a term which conceptually matches of one of the specified terms. You can match strings that contain punctuation (but see Note below) or consist of several words.

NOTE: Strings in the query should be percent-encoded. This ensures that any commas or curly braces that are part of a string are not interpreted as query syntax. If you are sending HTTP requests using the content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded you should then percent-encode all parameter values, meaning that any commas or curly braces that are part of a string are percent-encoded twice (such that a comma is represented by the sequence %252c). For more information, see Percent Encoding in Queries.
yourFields Type one or more fields. A document is only returned if it contains one of these fields, and if a term in this field conceptually matches one of yourTerms. Separate multiple fields with colons (:). There must be no space before or after a colon.

Example

FieldText=TERM{shopping,centers}:DRETITLE

A document's DRETITLE field must contain a term that conceptually matches shopping or centers for this document to be returned. If a document's DRETITLE field, for example, has the value shop this document is returned, while if it has the value bookshopping, it is not returned.

FieldText=TERM{training,football}:ITEM:PRODUCT

A document's ITEM or PRODUCT field must contain a term that conceptually matches trainers or football for this document to be returned. If a document's ITEM or PRODUCT field, for example, has the value train or footballers, this document is returned, while if it has the value trainer or soccer, it is not returned.
