# MaxExpandLevel

The number of levels to expand multiterm synonyms in the synonym tree. Set `MaxExpandLevel` to `0` to use only the whole multiterm synonym. Set `MaxExpandLevel` to `1` to expand each of the terms in a multiterm synonym.

For example, if your synonym File contains the following values:

    girl, young woman, maiden
    young, juvenile, youth
    woman, lady

- If you set `MaxExpandLevel` to `0`, a query for `girl` returns matches for girl, young woman, and maiden.

- If you set `MaxExpandLevel` to `1`, a query for `girl` returns matches for girl and young woman. It also expands young to include matches for juvenile and youth, and expands woman to include matches for lady. The complete list of possible matching expressions for this query is:

  - girl

  - young woman

  - young lady

  - juvenile woman

  - juvenile lady

  - youth woman

  - youth lady

  - maiden

NOTE: For backwards compatibility, you can set `MaxExpandLevel` to higher integer values, which has the same effect as setting it to `1`.
