Hi I am using version 0.7.1 and a TransportClient to do mlt how do I modify this code so that 1. I can control the number of results I will get and not just the default first 10 2. turn on the explain flag so I will be able to get the lucene score on each hit MoreLikeThisRequest request = moreLikeThisRequest("en").type("organic").id(docId).fields("content"); SearchResponse mltResponse = client.moreLikeThis(request).actionGet(); ---

Hi, I think you can use the same API as used in the example here: [http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/java\_api/search/](http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/java_api/search/) Regards, Lukas On Tue, May 25, 2010 at 10:01 AM, Yatir Ben Shlomo [maanit.arch@gmail.com](mailto:maanit.arch@gmail.com)wrote: > Hi I am using version 0.7.1 and a TransportClient to do mlt > > how do I modify this code so that > > 1.

If you want to provide the text for the more like this query, then you should execute a simple search request (not mlt) and add an mlt query to it (with the text itself). For the mlt API, you can provide the search request parameters under the searchSource parameter. cheers, shay.banon On Tue, May 25, 2010 at 11:21 AM, Lukáš Vlček [lukas.vlcek@gmail.com](mailto:lukas.vlcek@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi, > > I think you can use the same API as used in the example here: > [http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/java\_api/search/](http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/java_api/search/) > > Regards, > Lukas > > On Tue, May 25, 2010 at 10:01 AM, Yatir Ben Shlomo [maanit.arch@gmail.com](mailto:maanit.arch@gmail.com)wrote: > > > Hi I am using version 0.7.1 and a TransportClient to do mlt > > > > how do I modify this code so that > > > > 1.
