Customize the Query
The CategorySuggestFromText
Lua script sends an entire document (metadata and content) to IDOL for categorization. The document is converted to a string using the to_idx
method and then passed to the QueryText
parameter of the CategorySuggestFromText
action:
local categorySuggestFromTextParameters = { QueryText = document:to_idx() } ... local output = send_aci_action( idolCategorizeHost, idolCategorizePort, "categorysuggestfromtext", categorySuggestFromTextParameters, timeoutMilliseconds, retries, sslParameters )
You can modify the script to categorize the document based on a specific field. For example, to use only the document content:
local categorySuggestFromTextParameters = {
QueryText = document:getContent() }
Alternatively, to use the value of a single document field:
local categorySuggestFromTextParameters = {
QueryText = document:getFieldValue("MyFieldName") }
You can also add additional parameters to the action. For example, the CategorySuggestFromText
Lua script does not limit the number of categories that are added to the document. To add only the most relevant category to a document, add the CategorySuggestFromText
action parameter NumResults=1
by modifying the script as follows:
local categorySuggestFromTextParameters = { QueryText = document:getContent(), NumResults = 1 }
For more information about the CategorySuggestFromText
action and the parameters that it supports, refer to the IDOL Server Reference.
