Normally, ATG Search retrieves indexed content using a relatively short input query from a user. The terms of the query are used to retrieve matching statements that represent the basic results of the search. However, special situations require retrieving index items (documents) that are most similar to another index item, such as consistency checks during authoring of new content. In effect, a whole document is treated as a query which retrieves other documents from the index. The similardocs
request is used for this purpose.
Attributes of the similardocs
