# MatchReference

The references of documents to include in the results. Only matching results with the specified references can return. You can also set the ReferenceField parameter to specify the reference field that this reference value must occur in.

NOTE:

When you use `MatchReference` and DontMatchReference together, HPE IDOL removes any documents in the DontMatchReference list from the `MatchReference` list.

If the reference contains plus symbols (`+`) or spaces, you must percent-encode the reference. If you have multiple references, percent-encode each reference separately, then separate the references with plus symbols (there must be no space before or after a plus symbol) and percent-encode the whole string again (using a Web browser or the ACI client).

Reference encoding example.

If you have the following two references:

- http://www.example.com/?script.pl&query=test

- http://www.example.com/?script.pl&query=cat+dog

Percent-encode each reference:

    http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eexample%2Ecom%2F%3Fscript%2Epl%26query%3Dtest

    http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eexample%2Ecom%2F%3Fscript%2Epl%26query%3Dcat%2Bdog

Separate the two references with a plus symbol:

    http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eexample%2Ecom%2F%3Fscript%2Epl%26query%3Dtest+http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eexample%2Ecom%2F%3Fscript%2Epl%26query%3Dcat%2Bdog

Percent-encode the whole string again:

    http%253A%252F%252Fwww%252Eexample%252Ecom%252F%253Fscript%252Epl%2526query%253Dtest%2Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww%252Eexample%252Ecom%252F%253Fscript%252Epl%2526query%253Dcat%252Bdog
