Allows you to expand a query that might contain category topic names into a full query, which replaces the category names with the queries that they represent.
Note: This is an administrative action that can be sent only from AdminClients (which are set in the [Server] section of the configuration file).
Note: CategoryExpandTopics works only with categories that have Boolean training. For example, if you have a category A with training cat AND dog and category B with training apples AND bananas, sending the CategoryExpandTopics action with the Expand parameter set to A AND B would result in IDOL Server expanding this string to cat AND dog AND apples AND bananas.
http://localhost:9000/action=CategoryExpandTopics&Expand=genome
