Google Search Appliance: Search Protocol Reference

Request Format

14

Standard terms use only the search appliance’s internal contextual (synonym) files for query expansion.
Local terms use all displayed and activated synonym files, including any uploaded files. After you
configure and enable the appropriate query expansion files, set the query expansion policy for a front
end. Each front end has a policy that specifies whether it uses the search appliance’s built-in logic (the
“standard” set of terms), your own list of synonyms (the “local” set), or both (the “full” set). Query
expansion files are used only if the query expansion policy for a front end is set to Local or Full.

If this parameter is omitted, the query expansion value specified for the front end is used.

Default value: 0

entqrm

The entqrm parameter controls query expansions for meta tags according to the following valid values::

Default value: 0

entsp

The entsp parameter controls the use of the advanced relevance scoring parameters that you set under
Result Biasing on the Admin Console. The parameter accepts the following valid values:

Value

Description

No value

If you do not specify a value for the entsp parameter in the search
request, the scoring policy specified for the current front end is
used. For example, if the search appliance uses a front end called
my_frontend in which the scoring policy my_scorepolicy is
configured, omitting the entsp parameter means that the scoring
policy my_scorepolicy is used.

0

Do not use any scoring policy.

a

Specifies that the default scoring policy for the search appliance is
used. It should be named as default_policy.

a__xxx

Specifies a particular advanced scoring policy. For example, for a
source biasing policy called mypolicy, the parameter is set with
the following syntax:

entsp=a__mypolicy

Note that the above syntax uses two underscores between the a
and the name of the source biasing policy.
