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...

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?

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!
