Thanks for sharing John. That's a really a neat idea, even if the results don't seem particularly relevant for some tests I tried. I was curious how it does the matching of page text against the profiles. I see from the description at http://vivosearchlight.org that EleasticSearch is being used instead of Solr. Any chance Miles Worthington (ok I googled) would be willing to share the source code on his github account [1], or elsewhere? //Ed [1] https://github.com/milesworthington
