Get similar entries plugin

On a single-entry page, it is nice when you can display links to ‘similar entries’. For example, I have a catalogue of cars for sale and when a uses views the car’s page I want to show him links to several cars of the same type sold for the same price. To achieve this, you can filter (search) entries by custom field or use categories. However, both methods have limitations. So I wrote a plugin called “Similar Entries”

You call it providing an entry_id and a list of fields by which you’d like to find similar entries (in my case, that will be price and type). And it will display entries which are similar (not exactly fitting). You can provide both strings and numbers (with +- range to search). The plugin respects categories as well, but if it can’t find similar entries in your category - it will seach in others/

Please find detailed usage instuction on the plugin page at your EE installation.

The plugin currently does not use title to find similar entries - only the custom fields (and categories).
