Live search

[finid]

Is anybody looking at implementing a live search feature? It will help in reducing duplicate posts.

Does elasticsearch-js provide the feature I have in mind?

Hey @planner -- we do have fulltext search built-in, although I do believe somebody on here is working on an elaticsearch plugin... (think)

I think what I'm alluding to is this: When I start searching or creating a post, I get a list of similar posts already existing on the site. I don't think that's built in yet.

As mentioned in the other post, I just started on the plugin might need some support. And yes, I'm using elasticsearch.js maintained by ElasticSearch as library to perfom indexing and search.

The original intent of my question is to see if there's support for "similar questions" feature as a user is trying to start a thread, that is, as they are typing in the title of a new thread. It will help a lot in reducing duplicate threads.

right, you need to force users to search for topic first - startpage like google
Maybe my search plugin will end at the cover page
