DREQuery

A query to submit to the IDOL Server data index. The query can be:

  • Free query text. To run a simple query without extra restrictions, type only the query text. For example:

    DREQuery=citrus fruit
  • Full query syntax. To run a complex query, you can use the normal query syntax format (refer to the IDOL Server Administration Guide). If you send the action in an HTTP request, you must percent-encode the query string. If you use a scheduled operation you do not need to percent-encode it. For example:

    DREQuery=action%3DQuery%26Text%3Dcitrus%20fruit%26MinScore%3D60

NOTE: If you use MaxResults with the ClusterSnapshot action, you must set it to a value greater than 2000 to create a representative snapshot.

For the ClusterSGDataGen action, this parameter is available only when you set FillGaps to True.
