I know I've seen it on other forums before but cannot for the life of me figure out the right thing to search for here.

Basically, on "New Post" it takes their subject and does a AJAX search and populates a box below with related possible posts to try to cut down on reposts of the same subject, etc.

If it exists, please let me know where. Sorry again since I couldn't find the right search terms!

Are you sure you're not talking about the "similar threads" option that's built into vb?

I think this one is exactly what you're looking for. It's one I have bookmarked for future reference. There are some pros and cons, but for most people I think it should be just right.
