Tinderbox v10 Icon

similar tab

similar tab

The similar tab uses Tinderbox's 'similar to' function to list (up to) 10 items it adjudges most similar to the current note. It replaces the stand-alone minor view in older Tinderbox versions. Similarity is based on several factors, including:

  • the text ($Text) of the note
  • the note title ($Name)
  • any text contained in user attributes (i.e. attributes of String type or which are string-based)

In addition, weighting is applied for:

  • notes having the same prototype
  • notes having roughly similar amounts of text

Similar notes are listed in order from top to bottom, starting with the most similar note at the top.

Double-clicking any list item sets the clicked note as the focus of the document window's text pane and dismisses the pop-over.

Dragging the pop-over will result in a tear-off window that will persist until the end of the current session (i.e. the document and/or app are closed). A torn-off window may be closed during the current session if no longer needed.

This information can also be accessed as an action code similarTo() and an export code ^similarTo()^.
