Query Manipulation Server

Query Manipulation Server is an ACI server. For details of changes that affect all ACI servers, see ACI Server Framework.

23.2.0

New in this Release

  • QMS can now expand names in query text to include other variants of the same name, such as variants that use initials or titles, nicknames, phonetically similar names, and translations.

    NOTE: This feature requires the IDOL Eduction combined_names.ecr grammar and pii_postprocessing.lua script, which you must obtain from the IDOL Eduction Grammars package.

    To use the new expansions, you must configure the locations of the required Eduction grammar, and some data files that are included in your QMS package.

    [NameVariants]
    NameGrammarDirectory=qms/namevariants/grammars
    NameDataDirectory=qms/namevariants/data

    You can then send a query with the new ExpandNames parameter to expand any names in the original query with the matching variants. For example:

    action=Query&Text=John Smith&ExpandNames=True

    For more information, refer to the Query Manipulation Server Help.

Resolved Issues

  • When queries were sent through QMS, the <autn:predicted> tag (indicating whether the reported totalresults value was estimated or exact) always returned with value false (regardless of whether prediction was used or not).
