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.

When you create a new thread now, there's a typeahead search that shows
existing threads with matching titles as you type. You can click one to
go to the existing thread instead of creating a duplicate. Works on
standalone and FAQ sites where multiple users might start threads on the
same topic.
