Recommend other Questions

[grayside]

When writing a question, it would be awesome if the site could let you know if similar questions have already been asked. Doing this would probably be a new & separate module, but I am noting it here as a feature request to enhance crowd_qa (not a dependency).

There are two approaches to this.

Autocomplete Title Field

This is possibly the most straightforward. Convert the title field into an autocomplete field, pinging against every other question asked. Other questions should be supplied by a programmatically executed View. If possible, the View should narrow the results by Space.

Why does this suck? Because we don't want people to actually ask the same question, we just want them to know the other question exists and click through to it if it seems helpful.

Ajax Views Search

Some bizarro thing. There is a View that runs a search with your text against (preferrably) the search index. It's results should also return in an ajaxy manner and inject a few results below the title area.

This may be a new module, but I have seen enough ajax + views modules that I've never really looked at that I can't be sure. It might simply be part of the future crowd_qa_discovery module
