From 42d6d03cb3136e8516569de8b15e5b6df907f46b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: peptiderepo Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2026 02:52:17 +0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix: replace over-aggressive WP_Query dedup with keyword-overlap check MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The old has_similar_post() used WordPress search ('s' parameter) which matches ANY word in the query. On a niche peptide blog, every topic shares vocabulary like "BPC-157", "peptide", "dosage" — so all 125 ideas were false-positive deduped against existing posts, producing zero viable article ideas. New approach: extract meaningful keywords (strip stopwords), compare against each existing post title, and only dedup when ≥60% of the topic's keywords overlap with a single title. Also caches the title list per pipeline run to avoid repeated queries. Added summary logging so we can see exactly how many ideas pass through each filter stage.
