It's certainly possible to have similar pairs, but as the number of ads in the databases increases, the randomness increases. You're saying that a random sort between 2 completely different databases always returns the same pairings? Sounds like the random seed is being set in a non-random way.Try adding randseed=[random] to the search parameters of each search context. That may bump the random seed enough to get different pairings.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
