This feature will be very usefull. Aswell as making life a bit easier for moderators. Its about whenever a user creates a new thread, then when they press "Post Thread" mybb does an automatic search inside the forum to find matching threads. If similar threads exists then mybb will return the search page with a heading like "These similar threads like yours already exists in this forum". The user will then know that not to create the similar thread and can click an "Abort Thread" button. If no similar threads exists then mybb go ahead and creates the thread as normal. Either in the core or as a plugin mybb board admins will welcome this feature.
We already have this feature both as a core and as a plugin.

Core: Go to ACP>Configuration>Settings>Show Thread Option>Show 'Similar Threads' Table

Plugin: http://mods.mybb.com/view/related-threads
