Serge Huber commented on UNOMI-232:
-----------------------------------
Hello Casey,
Thanks for your interest in Unomi and for your suggestion.
Do you have a query that you are currently using on ElasticSearch that you
could share ? This could help a development of such an endpoint greatly !
Regards,
Serge...
> Add ability to discover similar users.

> Key: UNOMI-232
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UNOMI-232
> Project: Apache Unomi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0-incubating
> Reporter: Casey Sybrandy
> Priority: Major
>
> Hello,
> We are currently prototyping a system and one of the pieces of functionality
> that's been requested is the ability to find users that are similar to each
> other. For example, if this is a site for allowing people to search for
> research papers, the site can recommend other users based on my searches,
> which could be tracked via Unomi, so that I may be able to contact them and
> see if they're performing similar research and potentially collaborate.
> Currently we are accessing ElasticSearch to do this because while there is a
> search API in Unomi, we can't control the ranking by prioritizing certain
> fields over others.
> Ideally, the endpoint should:
> # Allow the developer to specify which fields should be used for matching
> users.
> # Allow the developer to adjust the ranking of the results by prioritizing
> certain fields over others.
> # Return the results in order of best match to worst match with the ability
> to limit the number of results.
> Thanks.
