3/25 It's back!
I'm not sure if it works on every document, but it worked on one of mine!
(Edit on 4/26) It works on some documents but not on others... Does anyone else have the same problem?
2/23
Someone in the comment section said "The latest word, as of today, is "The latest update in the bug is that there are still some approvals that the team is waiting on. The Word team is treating this as a high-priority incident and is working to have this restored as soon as possible.". So anyone wondering for any updates, there it is...
Thank you!
(I will try my best to look for any updates given in this comment section)

We are all just volunteers, other users with no influence over the product design. The only way to get a message directly to Microsoft is to use the Feedback mechanism in the software itself. No amount of shouting here will reach Microsoft.

2023-11-29T02:40:16+00:00 Believe me, when I get any more information, I will update this and all the other threads on the subject, though that shouldn't be necessary because the similarity checker will just start working again (as has been the case with the "transcribe stops at 94%" bug).
