ES sports a more-like-this feature, where one can pass a document and elasticsearch returns other docs alike.

I started to implement the basics here: https://github.com/schorsch/wordpress-fantastic-elasticsearch/tree/related_posts

Quick feedback. Here's the basic query we are building for WP.com/Jetpack Related Posts: https://gist.github.com/gibrown/9419022

For why we are not using the MLT API see Slide 33 of this presentation: http://gibrown.wordpress.com/2014/02/25/presentation-elasticsearch-at-automattic/

We started playing with things like overlap in commenters (and likers), links, and shortcodes to improve relevancy. I'd be super interested in other ideas for improving relevancy. :)

Thanks for the input and your interesting slides! We weren't able to merge my branch yet, since its still lacking tests. But i am using it live on http://buchgourmet.com

Hey @schorsch, Could you submit a PR with you changes? Even if its currently lacking some tests it would still help get more people looking at the code, and if you dont have time, someone else could step in to help get the code covered.

This seems like a cool feature to have if a new version is released.
