Hi Chee Yee Lim,
Thank you for your quick response. We do not find much documentation on knnsearch on how to do use that. Could you please guide us with more info on how this can be used? Can we use this the way we use Solr by querying with Solr URL like http://[SOLR URL]/mlt.... ? OR any other way? And also please provide with any more detailed documentation if you have any.

But the response is very unreliable with 90% of the same queries resulting in Java null pointer exception, and only 10% returning expected response. I do not know what is the cause of this. I overcame this problem by using knnSearch via Stream handler ( https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/8_1/stream-source-reference.html#knnsearch ). It is just a wrapper on MLT, and it works brilliantly. It is worth checking it out if you are running Solr in cloud mode. If you pass the fl="score"&sort="score desc" to knnSearch, you will be able to get the results sorted by matching scores.

We are using Solr Search engine for searching jobs in our applications. We are planning to use MLT feature to get the similar matching documents (jobs) based on one document (job). When trying to explore this option, we are using matching field as JobDescription of the job and we are getting some unrelated documents in the MLT results which are not expected. The query like below: http://[SOLR URL]/mlt?q=sjkey:1414462-25600-5258&wt=json&indent=true&mlt=true&rows=100&mlt.fl=jobdescription&mlt.mindf=1&mlt.mintf=1&fl=jobtitle,jobdescription&fq=siteid:5258 We have few questions: 1) Is there any way we can get the matching score for each of the matching document we get in the MLT results, so that we can get the sorting done on the score to have the highest matching document at the top of the result. 2) Are there any best practices using MLT Handler?
