DREQuery

An IDOL Category Component query to determine the results set to use to generate the taxonomy.

Allows you to submit a query to IDOL Category Component and generate a taxonomy from the results that this query produces. The query can be one of the following:

  • Free query text. To run a simple query without specifying any restrictions, you can 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 Category Component Administration Guide). If you send the action by using an HTTP query, you must percent-encode the query string. Otherwise (for example, if you use a scheduled operation) you do not need to percent-encode it. For example:

    DREQuery=action%3DQuery%26Text%3Dcitrus%20fruit%26MinScore%3D60
Actions: TaxonomyGenerate
Type: String
Default:  
Example: DREQuery=action%3DQuery%26Text%3Dsport%26MaxResults%3D5000%26DatabaseMatch%3DNews%20Sports%26MinDate%3D%2D7
In this example, IDOL Category Component returns up to 5,000 documents about sport that were indexed into the News and Sports databases within the last seven days. IDOL Category Component generates a taxonomy from the results.
