Baseline
As at baseline
similarTo(item,notesNum)
Returns Boolean true if item is amongst the (optionally notesNum notes) most similar to the current note.
The item argument must be quoted unless an attribute reference. Ways to define item.
Similarity is based on several factors, including:
- the text of the note
- the note title
- any text contained in user attributes
In addition, weighting is applied for:
- notes having the same prototype
- notes having roughly similar amounts of text
This data replicates that seen in the similar tab of Get Info and in the export code ^similarTo()^.
Legacy issues
This operator replaces the legacy #similarTo query operator and what in old version's agent query creation pop-ups and Find dialogs was listed as "is similar to".
