The basic language syntax is as follows, although you can mix the order of the elements:
command application_name parameters
and/or record filters
No matter how the question is constructed, you must supply at least two pieces of information: (1) the action or command, and (2) the UA application on which to apply the action. The optional parts are specifying parameters or recording filters which affects the content of an application that will be returned to the user.
Synonyms are used in commands, applications, parameters and fields. Synonyms are alternative words that the Answers Anywhere search mechanism uses to carry out the search. For example, if the field “auto” has “car,” “truck,” and “vehicle” defined as synonyms, a query like “find cars with make Acura and color blue” would include the field “auto” in its search for application data.
