I need to order by dynamically and this post gave me the idea of sending it via query_posts thus making it available to me in the $wp_query global.

But I will be using parse_query for other things!

Cheers.

Alex, Joe, no, YARPP does not support looking up related posts based on an arbitrary query (such as some keywords or text) due to the way YARPP builds a cache of "relatedness" relations based on pairs of posts, not for strings of text.

You could, however, write an SQL query similar to that in the YARPP algorithm (found in the depths of magic.php) to do something like this on the fly... the most important component of this would be the "match ... against ..." MySQL statement, explained here.

This is also something I've just been looking at for one of my blog readers. Any way we can pass tags manually to yarpp outside WP, and have it pull out related posts from within WP?

Hi Mitcho,

First off -- Hats off to the work, this is a great plugin. I do have a feature request may be you have thought about it already, I want to be able to pass a keyword to the YARPP and get a lit of related entries, this would come in handy for those who want to display related post outside of wordpress, In my case I was looking to display related posts on my Zenphoto gallery, while they are looking at a picutre.

Cheers -- Great Work.
