Let me try my best to make myself understood.

I have a node type Exhibition where I want to display related nodes of type Article, and these related nodes are tagged with taxonomy tags. On the Exhibition node I want a field where I can write one or more words, and related Articles tagged with these words should be displayed.

I want to use the Entity Reference module since this is already in use elsewhere, and I want to limit the number of modules in use. (I know of the Similar By Terms module).

Does anyone know if this is possible?

It can't be done with Entity Reference out of the box, your only option is to install another module or write some custom code (you would need to create a custom widget that searched additional fields on the entity if you went down the custom code route).

One possibility, which seems to be in keeping with your approach, is the Entity Reference View Widget module. This module allows you to search on any field. There is a little bit of additional setup since you have to create a view containing your Article nodes, but it means that you can specify your taxonomy as a field that can be filtered.

    I would be careful with that module. It never became really stable and is an architectural dead end. (I wrote it) – Bojan Zivanovic Mar 15 '13 at 14:48
  • Ah, I haven't actually tried the module but saw it on a recent Lullabot post. You know best though, being the module author and all!! – littledynamo Mar 15 '13 at 14:50
  • I guess Similar By Terms module is the easiest way to go then since another module is needed anyway. Thank you both for answering. – pusle Mar 16 '13 at 8:37
  • I found this stackoverflow.com/questions/10454507/… - Works great. – pusle May 15 '13 at 8:52
  • @BojanZivanovic Best comment I've seen in a while. Still have the same opinion? – digitgopher Sep 15 '15 at 0:14
