Search before you post

Recommended Posts

We have implemented something on the forums that now does this automatically when you create a new topic and shows similar ones (based on the topic title and tags) that already exist in that section. Hopefully eliminating some of the duplicate topics we get so often. Any issues let me know, feedback is welcome.

Doesn't seem to be working for me, should it just pop up as you start typing in "topic title"?

You have to click somewhere outside the 'title box', and there is a character limit too.

Moderating is like herding cats, cats on adderall, bourbon and cocaine.

Yeah, got it to work for a few words, no hits for "WTF" surprisingly.

It's setup with a 4 minimum character limit atm, can be changed but it will start finding topics with "and" "the" etc in them if we do so probably not ideal.

Excellent work, but I'm afraid that we could have used this a year ago, when a lot of this started to become immensely annoying.

 

Regardless, thanks a lot.

Maybe specific exceptions would be good if possible? KoS only has 3 letters...

Unfortunately this thread is useless unless it is pinned, as it will be buried eventually and all the newcomers will continue to post re-threads :/

I was over at the reddit dayz board and came across the experimental branch info, which I had no idea about until then.  When I searched "experimental server" I got 1 result (a dev log), and even "experimental" gave 1 result, so I was going to start a "why isn't everyone on experimental?" thread when the search function popped up with many results.  Which was weird but also helpful, so I posted in the "worth it" section.  Nice to see features added though, have my beans SmashT.

regex ftw.

Noice.  Regex = Regular Expression, aka finite state automaton, aka lexical analyzer.  Unix "grep" = Generate Regular Expression and Print.  Most people only know * but it's a biggie.
