# Synonym

Set `Synonym` to `True` to use configured synonym list jobs in this query.

To run this type of synonym query, you must configure a synonym file in the `[Synonyms]` section, and configure SynonymType fields. For more information, refer to the IDOL Server Administration Guide.

TIP: You can also use the `SYNONYM` operator to run a synonym search without configuring a synonym job. See Synonym Search.

When you set `Synonym` to `True`, IDOL Content Component looks for terms in the query text that correspond to synonyms in your synonym list files. When a term has matching synonyms, IDOL Content Component uses an internal synonym link to match your documents.

The synonym links indicate internally the set of terms and phrases that a synonym corresponds to. You can use the TermExpand action to expand these internal links to see what these term phrases are.

NOTE: The query matches synonyms only if they occur in the configured SynonymType fields. For all other index fields, IDOL Content Component only matches the original query text.
