Similar Topics on Post Screen 1.0.0

This application automatically displays similar existing topics while a member is creating a new topic, helping prevent duplicates and encouraging better discussions. As soon as the user finishes typing the topic title, the app searches the community using the IPS Core Search engine and shows an expanded list of relevant topics directly on the posting screen. Some benefits for your community include Elasticsearch compatibility, fewer duplicate topics, improved content discovery, enhanced posting quality, and cleaner forums with reduced moderation effort.

How it works:

• User starts creating a new topic

• When the title field loses focus, the app:

  • Builds a search query

  • Executes a Core Search request

• Matching topics are shown instantly below the title field

• Users can review existing discussions before posting

Settings:

• Number of topics to display

• Minimum topic title length

• Can view Similar Topics

• View Similar Topics in (specific forums)
