# MinScore

The minimum confidence score that an answer must have to return as a result.

If you set this parameter in the Ask action, the value that you specify applies to all the systems that Answer Server queries. You can also set the MinScore configuration parameter in the configuration section for a particular system to set a minimum confidence score for that system.

If you set both the MinScore configuration parameter and the `MinScore` action parameter, answers return only if they have a higher confidence score than both parameter values (that is, you can you the `MinScore` action parameter to increase the allowed score, but not to reduce it).
