# Query with the State Token

When you query the Content component, you can use the StateID, StateMatchID, and StateDontMatchID parameters to pass a state token. These parameters are similar to the ID, MatchID, and DontMatchID parameters that specify individual document IDs.

Action | State parameters supported
--- | ---
GetQueryTagValues | StateMatchID, StateDontMatchID
GetContent | StateID
List | StateMatchID, StateDontMatchID
Query | StateMatchID, StateDontMatchID
Suggest | StateID, StateMatchID, StateDontMatchID
SuggestOnText | StateMatchID, StateDontMatchID
Summarize | StateID
TermGetBest | StateID

If you use StateMatchID and StateDontMatchID in the same action, Content removes any documents in the StateDontMatchID list from the StateMatchID list.

Examples:

- Retrieve all documents. Use the StateID parameter to retrieve all documents in the token:

      action=GetContent&StateID=CWQ4FJ9LZSE5-6

- Query only the specified documents. Use the StateMatchID parameter to, for example, query only the first four documents in the stored result set:

      action=Query&Text=pear&StateMatchID=CWQ4FJ9LZSE5-6[0-3]

- Query all but the specified documents. Use the StateDontMatchID parameter to, for example, query all content except for the documents specified in the token:

      action=Query&Text=pear&StateDontMatchID=CWQ4FJ9LZSE5-6

NOTE: A stored-state-aware DAH forwards any query that includes a state token to the Content component that originally created the token.
