Hi,

i've tried the "more like this" elastic search query and wondered why i am  
getting a wrong result. Maybe i misunderstand the elastic search "more like  
this" query... ?  
Can anybody explain how to use it?

I've watched to the following JUnit test and was a little bit confused #?

> <https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/0.19/src/test/java/org/elasticsearch/test/integration/mlt/MoreLikeThisActionTests.java>

In the rows 88 and 120 are two expected hits 11 and 11. Why ?  
Is the Junit test wrong?

What do the min\_term\_freq and min\_doc\_freq mean?
