^similarTo( item, count[, start, list-item-prefix, list-item-suffix, end] )^
The HTML Export element ^similarTo^ locates notes that appear similar to a given note.
The query will find up to count notes, but may find fewer, and exports a list of notes it finds.
Basic form, returning links to the 10 most similar notes:
^similarTo("this",10)^
The longer form is only needed if it is desired to use non-default list HTML mark-up or include extra per-item captioning. If one of the option input is specified, all the other must be also - even if only as the default.
Similarity is based on several factors, including:
- the text of the note
- the note title
- any text contained in user attributes
In addition, weighting is applied for:
- notes having the same prototype
- notes having roughly similar amounts of text
The results are based on the Similar Notes view. The same matching is also available as an action similarTo().
New item objects source and destination may be used with list/item inputs to indicate from where data used within such inputs are drawn.
