TERMALL

The TERMALL field specifier (case sensitive) allows you to find documents with a specified field whose value contains conceptual matches of several terms specified by you. A conceptual match exists if the terms you specify match terms in a specified field after they have been stemmed.

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

Format

FieldText=TERMALL{yourTerms}:yourFields
yourTerms

Type multiple terms. A document is only returned if one of yourFields contains a value that includes terms which conceptually match 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=TERMALL{shopping,centers}:DRETITLE

A document's DRETITLE field value 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 town center shop this document is returned.

FieldText=TERMALL{walk,climb}:DRETITLE:TITLE

A document's DRETITLE or TITLE field value must contain a term that conceptually matches walking or climbing for this document to be returned. If a document's DRETITLE or TITLE field, for example, has the value hill walking and rock climbing this document is returned.
