More Like This provides a mechanism (and soon a framework) for providing related content. It currently supports an internal taxonomy search, but it will soon be opened up with a framework for plugging in morelikethis providers. This data is provided either as a block or as node properties to be manipulated during theming.
Taxonomy LookupThis initial release includes a taxonomy based lookup mechanism for More Like This content. It works by first
specifying your "Thumbprint" for a particular node on the node edit form. By thumbprint we mean you can specify
the terms/words that you, as an editor, feel uniquely identifies this content item. You can either select existing
taxonomy terms associated with this specific node, or enter free hand terms. When performing the lookup we will
determine what other nodes in the site match the provided More Like This terms and those with the highest
relevance/hit count will appear first in the list.
This initial release includes one type of search based on Taxonomy. Over the course of a few release we will
develop a pluggable architecture for search providers to integrate other mechanisms for finding related content.
