# TermGetInfo

When you index text into IDOL Content Component, it stores each term that the text contains with a weight that indicates the relevance that this term has to IDOL Content Component content.

The `TermGetInfo` action allows you to return the weight of specified terms, the number of documents that the terms occur in, and the total number of times that the terms occur.

NOTE:

If you have a custom stemming library that can return multiple stems, by default `TermGetInfo` returns only the first (primary) stem that the library returns. You can set Boolean to `True` to return additional stems. In this case, Micro Focus also recommends that you set Type to `None` to allow you to easily identify different stems, which all have the same value for the `startpos` attribute. See CustomStemming.
