# Manage search term rules
The **Search terms** tab of a [query pipeline](https://docs.coveo.com/en/180/) configuration allows members with the [required privileges](https://docs.coveo.com/en/3440#required-privileges) to manage [thesaurus](https://docs.coveo.com/en/3405/) and [stop word](https://docs.coveo.com/en/3406/) [query pipeline rules](https://docs.coveo.com/en/236/).

## Create search term rules

On the [**Query Pipelines**](https://platform.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/search/pipelines/) ([platform-ca](https://platform-ca.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/search/pipelines/) | [platform-eu](https://platform-eu.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/search/pipelines/) | [platform-au](https://platform-au.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/search/pipelines/)) page, click the query pipeline in which you want to add a rule, and then click **Edit components** in the Action bar.

. On the page that opens, select the **Search terms** tab.
