# NameVariants Parameters

This section lists the configuration parameters that you can set in the `[NameVariants]` section of the configuration file.

When you configure name variants, QMS can expand names in query text to include other variants, such as initials, the name with a title, translations, phonetically similar names, and common nicknames. QMS uses a Named Entity Recognition grammar to match names in the query text, and sends a query to the Content component to find potential name variants.

You must configure the locations of the directories where you store the Named Entity Recognition grammar and postprocessing script, and where you store the data files that QMS needs to match variants.

For more information about query name expansion, see ExpandNames and Name Variant Expansion.
