The heart of MLT is examining the top result of a query (or maybe more than
one) and identifying the "top" terms from the top document(s) and then
simply using those top terms for a subsequent query. The term ranking would
of course depend on term frequency, and other relevancy considerations - for
the corpus of the original query. A rich query corpus will give great
results, a weak corpus will give weak results - no matter how rich or weak
the final target corpus is. OTOH, if the target corpus really is
representative on the source corpus, then results should be either good or
terrible - the selected/query document may not have any representation in
the target corpus.

Subject: MLT Using a Query created in a different index
Dear Users,
I am doing some research where Lucene is integrated into agent
technology. Part of this work involves using an MLT query in an index
which was not created from a document in that index (i.e. the query is
created, serialised and sent to the remote agent).
Can anyone point me towards any information on what the potential impact
of doing this would be?
I'm assuming if both indexes have similar sets of documents, the impact
would be negligible, but what, for example would be the impact of
creating an MLT query from an index with only one or two documents for
use in an index with several (say 100+) documents,
with thanks,
Peter
