Special Search feature for Newbie section

[DrewLawson]

OK basically I thought of an idea that may help cut down on Reposts.

 

When a user clicks the post new thread button in Newbie discussion , It will take then to a normal post thread screen. However the Topic title field will actually be a search function. So the Newbie types in his "problem" and when he clicks Add Topic, his information in the fields will be saved, and will be taken to a screen that says"Before Posting this Topic try looking in one of these threads, and below will be a list of threads relevant to his topic title because the topic title would actually be a search function. After looking through the search results, on the bottom of the page will be two buttons: one says" I found what i needed, don't post the thread,"and the other says "I have not found what i'm looking for, post thread."

 

Now a Newbie cannot say he hasn't searched, unless he just scrolled down, then it should be perfectly alright to flame them.

there may be plug ins that do this sort of thing
