Attention
I have unfortunately been occupied with life events in recent months. However, I now have more time to return to the project. I am marking this module as minimally maintained, but I will be working to clear out the issue queue and fix bugs in the young module. Thank you for your patience. We're always happy to review patches and co-maintainers are welcome for obvious reasons!
Similar entries provides lists of links to site content related to the current node being viewed. Links can be displayed in standard blocks or as part of custom views. Similar content is located and rated using MySQL's FULLTEXT indexing for MyISAM tables. FULLTEXT is a special query that helps find relevant content in other nodes using a natural language search that interprets the search string as a phrase in natural human language. The installer adds the FULLTEXT index to relevant tables when the module is installed, and CCK or field table indexes (version 2.x) are updated during cron maintenance tasks if necessary. This reliance on FULLTEXT searches means that MySQL is required for this module.
