Using keywords in title to search for related threads

I was on an unrelated forum and I noticed a pretty interesting feature that they have implemented. When you input the title for a new thread, the forum does a quick search based on the words and returns previous threads whose titles contain the same words. Seems to me like that would be something that would be pretty beneficial to SB to help cut down on repetitive threads. Just a thought.

We don't want to discourage people from asking question. Even if they've been asked before.

This is why we don't employ a feature like this.
