For stand alone and FAQ sites, we should use AJAX to return a list of existing, relevant, and possibly related threads so that we can reduce duplication. ## timehexon — [Feb 02, 2026 07:37 am](https://meta.remarkbox.com/642831b4-4cbf-11e9-9d67-040140774501/prevent-duplication-of-existing-threads-when-creating-new-thread-feature-request#e45cae7e-0033-11f1-b5b7-040140774501) When you create a new thread now, there\'s a typeahead search that shows existing threads with matching titles as you type.
