I've noticed a lot of duplicate posts, especially in the New Scratchers and QAS forums, and I think they could be removed with a simple feature.
Now, if you've ever used StackOverflow to ask a question, you'll have seen that, as you type a title for your post, it creates a list of possible other posts that yours might be related to, or could already have an answer on.
It looks like this:
I think that If Scratch had a similar feature, so as you typed your title, it displays other topics with similar titles, It would stop a lot of duplicates.
Maybe also reminding users that their question probably already has an answer in the stickies.
So, basically, when a user types their title in, it suggests a list of other topics that might already have what they're after.

Looks like a brilliant idea, I support. I totally agree that there are far too many duplicate topics flying around.

Support.

If you support, it should be +1. If you don't, it should be +0, not -1. If you half-support, it should be +1/2 or +0.5, not +0. You can't subtract from the supporters.

Thanks for all the support, I was worried I'd put the idea across badly.
I'm glad to know it's understandable

It wouldn't be tricky at all. Just read through the titles of all current topics (which will probably be on a database on the server) and compare those with everything that the user has already written. Semi-support. Could be really tricky with the way the search system currently works.

Support if we could actually do this.It wouldn't be tricky at all.

Yeah, it's pretty missleading. Plus please stop bumping after 20-30 minutes it's very rude.Seriously, just put bump. Support!
Support if it's possible to do this. The search bar is pretty screwed up.

This is a great idea! I support this - it can be pretty useful when I make a new topic.
