# TermExpand

Allows you to specify misspelled or Wildcard terms and return all matching terms in HPE IDOL Server. You can also use `TermExpand` to return the term phrases that internal synonym links (returned by a synonym query) correspond to.

You can also restrict the term expansion for Wildcard or misspelled terms to terms in UnstemmedTrackFields by adding a field restriction.

## Example

    http://12.3.4.56:9000/action=TermExpand&Text=sound&Expansion=Fuzzy

This action uses port `9000` to request fuzzy matches for the term `sound` from HPE IDOL Server, which is located on a machine with the IP address `12.3.4.56`.

    http://12.3.4.56:9000/action=TermExpand&Text=Mauri*:Country&Expansion=Wild

This action uses port `9000` to request terms that start with `Mauri` in the `Country` field from HPE IDOL Server, which is located on a machine with the IP address `12.3.4.56`. In this example, the `Country` field must be configured in UnstemmedTrackFields.
