i’d like to see screen-shots of it

Are you able to deactivate sections of the logic? I don’t think “The first post a visitor came to on his previous visit” is relevant to my site, but the other search conditions are. Also, I probably would want to control the application of any more database intensive queries on my site. It doesn’t need to be any slower than it already is!

Hello max_Q,
Yes you can choose which logic to use per widget. Regarding the effect of database intensive queries: I guess what that also depends on the speed of your web server and the number of visitors. Currently this is not cached by the script, although the MySQL server might do that.
Give it a try and let me know your experiences.

Regarding database stress: If you consider the 4 options:

1. The first post a visitor came to on his previous visit
2. Posts related to seach engine search terms (tags and categories)
3. Posts related to the shown post
4. Posts related to seach engine search terms (full post content)

The first is least intensive and the 4th is by far the most intensive.
