Use Boost Rules in Queries
QMS does not apply boost rules by default. You must enable them in individual queries to QMS.
To use boost rules in your query
-
Send queries with the
ExpandQuery
parameter set toTrue
.NOTE: The query must have a
FieldText
parameter to match boost rules. ThisFieldText
can use only theMATCH
andEQUAL
field operators.
For example:
action=Query&Text=phone&FieldText=MATCH{UK}:place&ExpandQuery=True
This query searches for boost rules that match the word phone, and that contain the FieldText
expression MATCH{UK}:place
. QMS then adds the additional FieldText from the rule to the query to IDOL Server.
NOTE: This query also searches for synonymous terms.
If your boost rules contain a DATABASERESTRICTION
field, set the SynonymDatabaseMatch
parameter to True
to apply the restriction. By default, QMS does not apply the database restriction.
Refer to the QMS Reference for more information.
