Perfectly fine if it works for you. Aaf's more_like_this is more complicated, mainly because it tries to find out the 15 or so most relevant terms of your record's content to construct the query to support large documents (and it can even boost these single terms according to their relevance). I'll look into refactoring aaf a bit so that in future versions more_like_this can be used on unsaved records, too. Jens -- Jens Krämer webit!
