Matching keywords

Wednesday 28 April 2010 7:26:57 pm

Hello to all,

I am making a project where there are two different classes,

“Products” to be sell

“Needs” to be fulfilled

Users can create “products” and add several keywords

Users can create “needs” and add several keywords

I would like to show for a certain “product” all “needs” that matches all the products keywords, all needs that matches the products keywords minus one, minus two, and so forth

And vice versa:

I would like to show for a certain “needs” all “products” that matches all the needs keywords, all product that matches the needs keywords minus one, minus two, and so forth

This is a example, the order in wich matches appear is very useful so that users could view relations between products and needs and thus make his best shot in making a decision:

Product X (keywords: big, tall, blue, nice)

1. Needs1 (keywords: big, tall, blue, nice) (100% matched)
2. Needs2 (keywords: big, tall, blue, green) (75% matched)
3. Needs3 (keywords: big, tall, yellow, red) (50% matched)
4. Needs4 (keywords: big, white, yellow, red) (25% matched)

Needs X (keywords: big, tall, blue, green)

1. Product1 (keywords: big, tall, blue, green, yellow) (100% matched)
2. Product2 (keywords: big, tall, green, yellow) (75% matched)
3. Product3 (keywords: big, tall, old, fast) (50% matched)
4. Product3 (keywords: big, old, fast) (25% matched)

Any Ideas? Quite a challenge!

Thanks

Hello,

Try to use Ezfind, with morelikethis; http://ez.no/doc/extensions/ez_find/2_2/use/advanced_search/automatic_related_content_or_more_like_this.

Somethings like this :

{def $mlt = fetch(ezfind,moreLikeThis,hash(<paramerters>))}
