Semantic search seems like a more promising usecase than simple related articles. A big problem with classical keyword-based search is that synonyms are not reflected at all. With semantic search you can search for what you mean, not what words you expect to find on the site you are looking for.

they're both useful

search is an active "I'm looking for X"

related articles is a passive "hey thanks for reading this article, you might also like Y"
