# CategorySuggestFromText

Returns categories that are similar to text that you specify.

By default, this action operates by sending a Query action to the Agentstore, but it can send a SuggestOnText action instead, by using the UseSuggestOnText parameter. SuggestOnText and Query work slightly differently. SuggestOnText is faster, but Query is more accurate. Reducing the MaxQueryTerms when UseSuggestOnText is set to `False` (the default) speeds up the `CategorySuggestFromText` action, but reduces accuracy.

## Example

    http://12.3.4.56:9000/action=CategorySuggestFromText&QueryText=Caring for passiflora incarnata

This action requests categories that are conceptually similar to the text Caring for passiflora incarnata.

    http://12.3.4.56:9000/action=CategorySuggestFromText&TaxonomyName=RecipesTaxonomy&QueryText=summer dinner party

This action requests categories within `RecipesTaxonomy` that are conceptually similar to summer dinner party.
