# Answer Bank Mode

In Answer Bank Mode, the `TypeAhead` action uses a configured Answer Server to retrieve suggestion values from an Answer Bank system.

The Answer Bank system in Answer Server contains a store of question and answer pairs, such as an FAQ. You can use Answer Bank as part of `TypeAhead` to provide suggestions for existing answered questions, to guide your users towards existing answers.

To user Answer Bank type ahead, you must configure an `[AnswerServer]` section in your QMS configuration file, with the host and port of your Answer Server. For example:

    [AnswerServer]
    Host=Answers.example.com
    Port=15000

You must also configure the `AnswerBankSystem` parameter in the `[TypeAhead]` configuration section of your QMS configuration file. For example:

    [TypeAhead]
    AnswerBankSystem=MyAnswerBank

This Answer Bank system must exist in the Answer Server configuration file.

You can then send the `TypeAhead` action with `Mode` set to `Answerbank` to retrieve suggestion values from the Answer Bank.
