acts_as_searchable is one of the most useful plugins which's enabling us to add a fulltext search feature to our models/resources easily.

Unfortunately, it is lacking an interface to the features of searching by similarity which's provided by HyperEstraier.

So I wrote some codes to add an interface which's to exploit it. This is acts_as_searchable_with_similarity.

How to use?

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
  acts_as_searchable
end
Article.similarity_search(target_article,  :limit => 5)
