Expand Exact Phrase Searches

QMS does not apply synonym rules to exact phrase searches unless you set the parameter ExpandPhrases to TRUE. For example, with the default configuration, if a user searches for "software development kit" (including the quotation marks), QMS does not modify the query.

To change the default behavior and apply synonym rules to exact phrase searches, set ExpandPhrases=TRUE in the [Server] section of the configuration file. The default setting can also be overidden for specific actions by setting the ExpandPhrases action parameter.

For example, you might create the following synonym rule:

#DREREFERENCE sdk_synonyms
#DRETITLE sdk synonyms
#DREDBNAME ACTIVATED
#DREFIELD QMSTYPE="4"
#DREFIELD QMSAGENTBOOL="SDK software development kit"
#DREFIELD KEYWORDS="SDK,software development kit"
#DREFIELD CONCEPT="SYNONYM(SDK "software development kit")"
#DREFIELD DATABASERESTRICTION=""
#DRECONTENT
SDK software development kit
#DREENDDOC

You can then send queries to QMS:
