Solved Similar Threads

[jdraw]

Is there a feature currently that "suggests similar existing threads" as in the previous vBulletin?
If so, could some one please highlight it or the process to see same?

Some of the add-ons available give similar threads when you start typing in a thread title. I think there is one that is similar to the vBulletin one, but it comes in part of package with other apps for $35 per year, every year!

what is wrong with clicking the "search" button seperately or even our bestest friend mrs G or mr B?

Similar threads provided links below the thread being read. The linked threads showed approaches/solutions/discussions that could be directly referenced for focused help.

Search might work if you could identify the key word(s) /similar concept(s) involved, AND you could search with an and operator. Seems the default is or, and the return set is not focused.

I agree that feature was really helpful to me when doing research. It found many threads that I had trouble finding with Google. It allows one "further reading" on a topic.
