    Similar Threads

    I've grumbled about the uselessness of the "Similar Threads box in the past, been wondering how to make it useful.

    Currently it just appears to search the Thread title and do a word match, which is very limited (albeit not totally useless).

    Maybe a "Similar Thread Link" button could be added, so people could quickly connect up threads? I know we FOGs (Forum Old Gits) tend to just put an "As talked about {url="old thread"}here{/url} " post, but this way would make the "Similar Threads" box more useful. Plus the linkage wouldn't be lost 20 posts later.
