Problem

Similar Results runs the More Like This query in a "hidden" search with a Federated Search Key of morelikethis. This means a plain Search Insights will display no request or response string, unless you have advance knowledge its own Federated Search Key must be set to morelikethis, or you use an IDE like Eclipse to find out about the "hidden" search.

 

Solution

Expose the default value of Similar Results widget's Federated Search Key, and allow modification.

Similar Results Widget: Portlet Preferences: Federated Search Key

 

Use case: "Similar Results with Search Insights"

Execute steps from: "Asset Publisher Page" in LPS-98533

Add widget: Search Insights

! Observed: Search Insights widget is empty

Open: Similar Results widget > Portlet preferences

! Expected: Federated Search Key > morelikethis

Modify: Federated Search Key > mlt2

Open: Search Insights widget > Portlet preferences

Modify: Federated Search Key > mlt2

! Expected: Search Insights widget displays same items as Similar Results.
