IDOL Server 24.1

# Summary

The type of summary to return for each result document. IDOL Server automatically generates the summaries from the contents of SourceType fields.

You can use one of the following summary options:

`Concept` | A conceptual summary of each result document. A concept summary contains sentences that are typical of the result content (these sentences can be from different parts of the result document).
`Context` | A conceptual summary of each result document, biased by the terms in the query Text. A context summary contains sentences that are particularly relevant to the terms in the query (these sentences can be from different parts of the result document). To ensure that the summary contains the query terms, use the Characters parameter to specify how many characters to use in the summary. You can also use the MaxSourceCharacters configuration parameter to use more than the first 10,000 characters of a document to generate summaries.
`Quick` | A brief summary of each result document. A quick summary contains the first few sentences of the document.
`ParagraphConcept` | A conceptual summary of each result document which contains the paragraphs that are most typical of the result content (these paragraphs can be from different parts of the result document).
`ParagraphContext` | A conceptual summary of each result document, biased by the terms in the query Text and FieldText. This summary contains paragraphs that are particularly relevant to the terms in the query.
`Vector` | A summary that contains the text corresponding to the vectors that match in the result document. Multiple vectors are concatenated with an ellipsis (...). Where a vector starts or ends inside a term in the source field, the summary includes the whole term. NOTE: If you request a vector summary, and a document returns in the query without matching any vectors, IDOL Server returns a `Quick` summary. For example, if you request a `Vector`summary and do not use a `VECTOR` operator, IDOL Server returns quick summaries for the results. This option is available only for Query. If you request a `Vector` summary for the Suggest or SuggestOnText actions, IDOL Server returns a `Quick` summary.
`Off` | No summary.

NOTE: To ensure the quality of summaries, OpenText recommends that the documents or document sections that you generate them for are smaller than 4 KB.
