More Like This
More Like This is equivalent to a search for similar documents to a given one.The search can be used either by submitting the encoded ID to the default search handler in the form of q=mlt:$ID or by using the
dedicated endpoint (see below).
Normally the search response would contain mlt action URLs that link to the morelikethis search for every document (refer to Document fields).
Usage
The default more-like-this endpoint is /morelikethis. The mandatory parameter for this call is:
-
id: This is the encoded identifier of the document for which similar documents should be returned. This encoded form is automatically generated and returned when a document is retrieved – see section Document fields for details.
Optional parameters:
-
Monitoring parameters, like in the case of normal searches, are prepared and delivered by the search server in prepopulated action URLs – see section Common conventions for details.
Configuration
In the properties section of the configuration file the following properties are used to control the behavior of the More Like This search:
| Property name | Type | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
Name of the field(s) that is/are used to get MoreLikeThis results |
|
|
|
Name of the Field that is used to restrict MoreLikeThis results to documents with the same value in this field. |
Response
Elements of the Response
The main sections of the response are the same as in a normal search (refer to The search response). An additional field can be found in response:
-
maxScore: The maximal similarity score
Note that the documents under docs are ordered by decreasing similarity to the original document, and the score within each documents describes it’s similarity
Example
| Try it out! 3 similar wines to the "2004 Domaine Prieur Brunet Jehanne de Chantal" are returned from the More like this endpoint at https://search-features.demos.contexity.ch/sl/morelikethis?id=SEML2VuLzIwMDRfZG9tYWluZV9wcmlldXJfYnJ1bmV0X2plaGFubmVfZGVfY2hhbnRhbA |
The overall structure of an more-like-this response is as follows (see section A.3. Full more like this response for a full sample response)
