a useless function in AB

[Thunderchild]

When a question is asked a list of possible relevant questions come up. these are absolutely useless as they contain just about any word thhat was used in the question and are totally irrelevant wasting our time and the server resources. when is a suitable function going to be enabled or this useless one gonna be put out of use.

I find them very very useful and it can save alot of repeated questions, plus it can link you to like minded folk,

[Thunderchild]

sure then there should be an option: the current very wide feild search or a much more restricted one as I have never found a relevant question exept a few moments ago on julio cesar. some of the suggestions as answers to my question that have been already asked are sometimes so off topic that i laugh.

[dot.hawkes]

oh well, a bit of agiggle never hurt anyone, chill out, the site is what you make it after all.

One of the most frequently asked questions on the Sport section is about a player winning four particular trophies, to which the answer is Kanu. It amazed me how many people had asked this, so I did an experiment by typing it in as a question. Sure enough, it came up with three other questions identical to it, so some people obviously don't even bother checking. I think it's most useful.

[Thunderchild]

well i do check and feel like I'm have the p**s tacken out of me

In your last statement I detect a certain level of paranoia. I am sure this facility wasn't put in place to mock you, or anyone else. It takes 2 seconds to scroll to the "Yes, I still want to post button", and this function will take up very little server resources so please don't worry about it.

I actually find it quite useful and several times it has stopped me posting a duplicate question

[Thunderchild]

well it is next to useless just the same and would be useful and helpful if better implemented. it's just that I have posted a question on one topic and got suggestions for topics that are so different and have noticed that the word in common that brought that up was so simple that it should of been put in the search
