Relatedness/Similarity Search

[GoogleCodeExporter]

At the moment, with djapian(as well as postgres full text search), all I
can do is search for objects containing the search string.

What I am looking to achieve is to get a list of 10 most "similar" content
based on a given content.

In case of djapian it would match only if 2 posts were exactly same as each
other.

Hint : For wordpress they got http://rmarsh.com/plugins/similar-posts/
doing exactly what i want to achieve.

I think you can achieve this on top of djapian by writing your own layer that 
will be
find similar entries.
