Suggesting Existing Relevant Discussions When User Types Title

[TheBigK]

Just wondering if the facility to show existing discussions at the time of editing the title would be useful. So this will work as follows -

1. User starts entering the title [ we may fade out the post area unless 3-4 words are entered in the title.
2. System picks up the search terms and performs a search on existing threads and they are displayed as drop-downs as links.
3. It'd even be great if we show some preview text so that the user can decide whether to start a new thread or post in existing thread.

Looking forward to your thoughts on this feature.

Wow, I totally missed this one but it's perfect for a solution to let people know there are other threads with the same topic already posted. Thanks for pointing this out.
