# Query Manipulation Server

QMS allows you to modify queries and results, and to manage promotions. You can use QMS to:

- generate promotions from search results.
- query for promotions.
- ensure that documents appear at desired locations in a results list.
- boost results.
- expand queries to include results from synonymous terms.
- remove terms from queries.

You can use QMS as a stand-alone component or as a part of IDOL Data Admin.

QMS must have access to the IDOL Server Content component and the Promotion Agentstore.

For more information on how to use QMS with IDOL Data Admin, refer to the IDOL Data Admin User Guide.
