I've got enterprise search up and running and indexed my documents. I've got basic search working but now I would like to get similar results to show on product pages. I know Elasticsearch has more\_like\_this api. Can this be used/accessed somehow in enterprise search?

The node api client doesn't seem to mention it at all.

Do I therefore have to use the regular Elasticsearch client? Can I just run it against the enterprise search api, or do I need to go direct to the elastic cluster? Is it fine to do that and access the underlying index or is it better to maintain a separate index in ES for it?

Thanks

There is no `more_like_this api` in App Search yet.

You may want to check this similar [post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/where-do-i-find-the-indices-created-by-appsearch-in-elasticsearch/293480)

Hope this helps!
