Not yet... . I hope to get it into 0.5, if not, then definitely into 0.6.  
(MLT is More Like This).

Some work to support MLT has gone into master in the form of queries that  
can be expressed through the query DSL. More here:  
[Query DSL: moreLikeThis & moreLikeThisField · Issue #43 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/issue/43).

Yet more work on mlt is in master now. Support for getting documents like a  
specific document. Sample:

curl -XGET  
"localhost:9200/test/type1/1/\_moreLikeThis?minTermFrequency=1&minDocFreq=1"

(or)

curl -XGET  
"localhost:9200/test/type1/1/\_mlt?minTermFrequency=1&minDocFreq=1"

You can choose which fields to do the mlt on (by default will do on all of  
them), all mlt parameters are exposed though HTTP parameters. The request  
itself is translated into a search request, so the request body can be the  
search request body (facets, from, and so on). The result is the same as a  
search response.

Shay,

That was fast...  
It would be very interesting to check it.

Thanks,
