ExpandNames
Expand the current query with synonyms for any names in the original query text.
NOTE: To use name expansion, you must configure the [NameVariants]
configuration section with the locations of required data files. See NameVariants Parameters.
QMS uses IDOL Eduction to search the query text for name matches. It then finds any potential name variants for these matches, by sending another query to the IDOL Content component. QMS uses any name variants it finds to expand the original query, by using a SYNONYM
operator, where each synonym is a variant of the original matched name.
For example, to search for John Smith you can use the following query:
action=Query&Text=John Smith&ExpandNames=True
and QMS might produce the following expanded query, where each of the listed variants exists in a document in Content.
'SYNONYM("J Smith","J. Smith","JOHN Jimmy SMITH","JOHN SMITH","John A. Smith","John James Smith","John Jimmy Smith","John Smith","Johnny Smith","Mr. Smith","Джон Смит")'
