# [Synonym] Section

The `[Synonym]` section lists the parameters that determine how IDOL Server handles synonym list queries (that is, queries with the `Synonym` parameter set to `True`). A synonym query returns results which are conceptually similar to the query terms or the synonyms that are available for those terms. For example:

    [Synonym]
    0=PC_Syn

    [PC_Syn]
    File=myfile.txt
    MaxExpandLevel=1

NOTE: To send synonym queries to IDOL Server, you must also set up a synonym file and add the `Synonym` action parameter to your query. See Enable Synonym Lists.
