I was wondering if it would be possiable to have an automated search function, by this I mean when people go to make a new thread they type the tittle in there and as they do the web site automatically searchs for keywords in the title and a box appears with the threads with the keys words they are typing i.e:

title:ARTILLERY Automated search function would show the threads that have the word artillery init I know this is the same as the search function but I am seeing lock post all over the place sue to already suggested ideas, and I am one of the guilty ones I have posted one or two threads of asi. Its just a thought. :lol:

I suggested this a week ago, and it quickly got sent to the website people and my thread was locked (due to the fact that it was sent to the website developers, as previously mentioned)

BTW, how is the status on this idea?

Unfortunately, not going to happen, Slick mentioned it puts a huge overhead of queries on the already burdened server, which would mean more ads to cover the extra cost.

Thanks for the suggestion anyways :)
