Hello. I’m using mlt query like curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/tt/uu/id/\_mlt?fields=content1,content2&min\_doc\_freq=1’](http://localhost:9200/tt/uu/id/_mlt?fields=content1,content2&min_doc_freq=1%E2%80%99) to match docs only by two content fields. can I restict returned fields to some "informative\_field1» instead returning all doc? ---

You can try something like this: curl -XGET ' [http://localhost:9200/tt/uu/id/\_mlt?mlt\_fields=content1,content2&min\_doc\_freq=1](http://localhost:9200/tt/uu/id/_mlt?mlt_fields=content1,content2&min_doc_freq=1)' -d '{"fields" : ["informative\_field1", "informative\_field2"]}' BTW, I think there is a typo on the web site, so you should use "mlt\_fields" instead of "fields" if you want to use only a subset of fields to generate MLT search.

Hi! I use ElasticSearch with MongoDB and I need to find documents like to another document. OK, I created an index for a couple of hundreds of articles, but after searching: [http://localhost:9200/articles/article/4df007a5f10a8527e400002e/\_mlt?min\_doc\_freq=1](http://localhost:9200/articles/article/4df007a5f10a8527e400002e/_mlt?min_doc_freq=1) I got it: {"took":6,"timed\_out":false,"\_shards":{"total":5,"successful": 5,"failed":0},"hits":{"total":0,"max\_score":null,"hits":[]}} The standard search works fine, but MLT search found no documents. What's the problem? ---

Many thanks.

Fixed. Just a note on mlt API, basically, what it does is GET and then constructs a search request that includes an mlt query, if some of the parameters / the way that it works is not exactly one wants, you can always do it on the client side... 2011/7/26 Yaroslav [th-net@ya.ru](mailto:th-net@ya.ru) > Many thanks. > It’s totally what i want to do 🙂 > > Shay, please correct that typo here: > [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/more-like-this.html) > > 25 лип. 2011, в 22:25, Igor Motov написал(а): > > > You can try something like this: > > > > curl -XGET ' > > [http://localhost:9200/tt/uu/id/\_mlt?mlt\_fields=content1,content2&min\_doc\_freq=1](http://localhost:9200/tt/uu/id/_mlt?mlt_fields=content1,content2&min_doc_freq=1)' > > -d '{"fields" : ["informative\_field1", "informative\_field2"]}' > > > > BTW, I think there is a typo on the web site, so you should use > > "mlt\_fields" instead of "fields" if you want to use only a subset of fields > > to generate MLT search. > > > > Igor > > > > 2011/7/25 Yaroslav [th-net@ya.ru](mailto:th-net@ya.ru) > > Hello. > > > > > I’m using mlt query like > > > > > > curl -XGET ' > > > [http://localhost:9200/tt/uu/id/\_mlt?fields=content1,content2&min\_doc\_freq=1](http://localhost:9200/tt/uu/id/_mlt?fields=content1,content2&min_doc_freq=1) > > > ’ > > > > > > to match docs only by two content fields. > > > > > > can I restict returned fields to some "informative\_field1» instead > > > returning all doc? ---
