Hi,

I have a question about why the 'more like this' algorithm scores documents 
higher than others, while they are (at first glance) the same.

What i've done is index wishlist-documents which contain 1 property: 
product_id, this property contains an array of product_id's (e.g. [1234, 
4444, 5555, 6666]. What i'm trying to do is find similair wishlist for a 
given wishlist with id x. The MLT API seems to work, it returns other 
documents which contain at least 1 of the product_id's from the original 
list.

But what is see is that, for example. i get 10 hits, the first 6 hits 
contain the same (and only 1) product_id, this product_id is present in the 
original wishlist. What i would expect is that the score of the first 6 is 
the same. However what i see is that only the first 2 have the same, the 
next 2 a lower score and the next 2 even lower. Why is this?

Also, i'm trying to write the MLT API as an MLT query, but somehow it 
doesn't work. I would expect that i need to take the entire content of the 
original product_id property and feed is as input for the 'like_text'. The 
documentation is not very clear and doesn't provide examples so i'm a 
little lost.

Hope someone can give some pointers.

Thanks,
Maarten
