How about search similar threads option?

Hi, i love this forum and was wondering if a search option added to the 'create a new thread title box' would cut down on redundant posts by facilitating search for similar topics with the 'Title Box Input'? PCmech has become huge and this may help with response and space management. Thank you all for your support.

There already is a huge search function that no one uses....There are sticky threads that no one reads...Then theres the part where vBulletin probably doesn't have this as an option.

Another site I post on has a Popup that pops up when you click the New Thread button. See the attached pic:

We have the automatic similar thread option turned off to conserve server resources.
