         b.product_id as b_product_id,
         count( distinct b.Attributes ),
         count( distinct b2.Attributes ) as total_products
        FROM
          products a
          LEFT JOIN products b ON ( a.Attributes = b.Attributes AND a.product_id <> b.product_id )
          LEFT JOIN products b2 ON ( b2.product_id = b.product_id )
       /*WHERE */
         /*  a.product_id = 3 */
        GROUP BY
         a.product_id,
         b.product_id
        ORDER BY 
          1, 3 desc, 4
  ) t
) t2 
WHERE 
  row_num = 1

Горната query получава closest matches за всички продукти можете да включите product_id в най-вътрешната заявка, за да получите резултатите за конкретен product_id , използвах LEFT JOIN така че дори ако product няма съвпадения, показва се
