# Predict

Set `Predict` to `True` to predict the parametric value counts for your documents if the number of matching documents exceeds the configured threshold. This option has an effect only when you set DocumentCount to `True`. Predicting the value counts increases the query speed.

You configure the threshold by using the ParametricResultsPredictionThreshold or ParametricResultsPredictionThresholdPercentage parameters.

If you enable prediction, the Content component returns an `<autn:predicted>` tag in the response to indicate whether it used prediction. This tag contains a Boolean value, which is `True` if the query matched enough documents to reach the prediction threshold. If the prediction threshold was not reached and the values are exact, `<autn:predicted>` contains the value `False`.

Set `Predict` to `False` to guarantee that Content examines each document.

NOTE: You cannot use prediction with the QuerySort parameter. If you set `Predict` to `True` and also set QuerySort, Content uses the QuerySort and does not use prediction.
