#similarTo( note, count ) (DEPRECATED)

This pages describes features, codes or syntax whose use is now DEPRECATED, i.e. not advised either for new or continued pre-existing use.

Deprecated aspects of Tinderbox may be supported on a legacy basis but the latter support can't be presumed to be indefinite. Therefore you should update your active TBX documents to latest practice as soon as practical.

DEPRECATED - use similarTo().

#similarTo( note, count )

Similarity is based on several factors, including:

In addition, matches are also weighted by

The same matching technique s also available as an export code - ^similarTo^

In agent create/rename dialogs this is listed as 'is similar to'.

Deprecated in favour of action operator similarTo().
