auto search

www.ubuntuforums.org has a couple of nice features that I thought might be handy hear. Both have to do with searching:

1)When you type in a new thread title then move to the text box it auto displays a list of similiar threads to show what has already been posted.
-kinda handy, helps with reposts

2)Search bar has a few options to it on pull down, such as find own posts/threads and find posts withing "X" timeframe

might be helpful, and no I didnt search b4 posting this.

I don't know about the first one, since I am not registered. And the second option is under advanced options.

right, it is really the fist option that is the most helpful, keeps down on the reposts if it presents you with similar threads automatically. The ubuntu forums are the only place I have seen it though.
