Hi, is there any way to get the terms that ES is going to use for a "more like this" search? I want to send a query with these terms to another index, and maybe even look in a different database for documents with these terms. Thanks, -- Joaquin Cuenca Abela ---

No, there isn't an option to do it. Can be added as an API, open an issue.

Done (596). Btw, I guess you're tired of hearing this, but ES is fantastic! And the API makes a lot more sense than SOLR (at least to me). Thanks!

Those are things I never get tired in hearing ;), great spirit boosters.
