You might also look at Mahout, and specifically Taste: http://lucene.apache.org/mahout/taste.html . Of course, it is a far different approach from MLT.

Hi all,
I'm trying various methods of building a user-specific product
recommendation system and one idea is to use solr's MLT functionality.

For each customer I have a list of items they've bought, and I want to find
similar items that are new to the site.

The problem is that MLT operates on each result found (if I send it an id, it will return a list for that id, if I send it lots of ids it will return a list for EACH result), what I really want is to return a single list based
on the combined factors of all items return by the initial query.

So if I search for "id:1 OR id:2 OR id:3", I want the MLT result to be a
single list of items, rather than 3 lists.

Is this possible without writing a completely new handler?

Andrew Ingram
