Replaced by More Like This Query set to a specific field
The more_like_this_field
query is the same as the more_like_this
query, except it runs against a single field. It provides nicer query
DSL over the generic more_like_this
query, and support typed fields
query (automatically wraps typed fields with type filter to match only
on the specific type).
