Ben, It's absolutely possible for MLT to find documents similar to another indexed document. That's its primary use case. For externally supplied data, you will need to supply one blob of text. You could derive this by concatenating applicable parts of your structured data before handing to Solr. MLT can find similar documents using more than one indexed field, which you may find useful.
I have more info on MLT in my book, and then there's the wiki: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/MoreLikeThis ~ David Author: https://www.packtpub.com/solr-1-4-enterprise-search-server/book Ben Anhalt wrote: > > Hello, > > It is currently possible to use the MoreLikeThis handler to find documents > similar to a given document in the index. > > Is there any way to feed the handler a new document in XML or JSON (as one > would do for adding to the index) and have it find similar documents > without > indexing the target document?
