I am trying to:

for custom post type I want to show some related posts within custom post view.
So, I have the problem:
1. there is no "not strong" way to filter posts in view.
- if I search for exact word, I have no posts in case there no exact phrase in search pattern.

2. no possibility to choose just main post category for filter
- if I want to filter "related posts" view by original post category - there is no way to use main post category as filter (not all current post categories)

3. there is no related post algorythm in general in Toolset.
- it is not really great, will be nice to have this really useful feature in next Toolset versions.
But, I find some posts here in support forum about 3rd party related posts plugin. It could be a nice solution, just need your advice about current best cases - unfortunately, I find only topics by 2014 or earlier, which is not really fresh info...

1. there is no "not strong" way to filter posts in view.

This is expected. You search for term "my_search_term" and that is what you want to be returned.
If there is nothing matching it, it should not give any results.

This is a usual behaviour of a search by Title or Content.

2. no possibility to choose just main post category for filter
- if I want to filter "related posts" view by original post category - there is no way to use main post category as filter (not all current post categories)

I do not understand this one.
If you refer the the Custom Search Filter, you cannot Filter only by parent Terms, this is correct.
If you refer to a Query Filter, you can filter by Terms that have no parents, and as such, only parent Terms would be returned.
Can you elaborate on the goal here?

3. there is no related post algorythm in general in Toolset.
- it is not really great, will be nice to have this really useful feature in next Toolset versions.

Again, I do not understand.
Maybe you could link to the threads so I can read them, and/or elaborate on the final goal, maybe I can help with a solution!
