# Synonym Configuration Parameters

The `[Synonym]` configuration section lists the synonym jobs that HPE IDOL Server uses if you enable synonym queries. It contains a subsection for each synonym job. In each subsection, you specify the settings that determine how HPE IDOL Server handles the synonym queries to which the job applies.

A synonym query returns results that are conceptually similar to the query terms, and results that are conceptually similar to the synonyms that are available for the query terms. To enable synonym queries, you must:

- create one or more synonym files
- set up an appropriate field process
- configure appropriate synonym jobs in the `[Synonym]` section

For details, refer to the IDOL Server Administration Guide.

Note: If you update or add a synonym in your synonym file, you must reindex your content for the modified synonyms to be available over all content. If you do not reindex, the synonym changes apply only to new documents.

For example:

    [Synonym]
    0=PC_Syn

    [PC_Syn]
    File=myfile.txt
    MaxExpandLevel=1
