# AgentBooleanWeighting

Set `AgentBooleanWeighting` to `True` to calculate the `autn:weight` metadata field (returned from performing AgentBoolean queries) by using the proportion of terms from the AgentBoolean expression that matched the query text.

By default, the Content component uses the default matching, which uses the proportion of terms from the index fields in your documents or agents.

Setting `AgentBooleanWeighting` to `True` might improve the result scoring for AgentBoolean queries, particularly where you have optimized your AgentBoolean documents by using the minimum required matching values in the document index fields. For more information about AgentBoolean query optimization, refer to the Knowledge Discovery Administration Guide.

TIP: You might also be able to improve conceptual matching in AgentBoolean queries by setting AbsWeight to `True` in your AgentBoolean queries. For more information, refer to Knowledge Discovery Expert.
