I have gone to 3.6.8 and it's working fine here.

why i can't found 'Check for similar threads?' in Board Options
> I'm using 3.6.8

great hack and very usefull, thanks mate!

anybody help me ?????????

Vboptions > Message Searching Options > Automatic Similar Thread Search

set to Yes.

i don't see Automatic Similar Thread Search in this
And U're using under 3.6.8 ??
because Vboptions hav been changed to Board Options

This has to be one of the BEST MODS around!

can i ask how did you fix this issue? I'm also using IE 7.0 with vista for OS

*the reason was i had downloaded the latest jquery-1.1.4.pack.js, but should have downloaded jquery-1.1.3.1.pack.js.
*please don't download the latest jquery but the one dev mentioned

Thanks for the great mod but it seems it's not working with other languages forums or still have some issues.
It's showing after i enter an new thread title and looks it's working but not showing any relevant posts. Interesting, the default VB similar threads are showing in the post but this is not working.

All functions looks fine the ajax working good but not working. I really want to use this mod; any suggestions?

here's what I see

You should however find what you are looking for here:
I can't get it to work right. It does the search, but says "No similar topics found. Start your thread and let the users answer your questions."

even when I put in the same title over and over and over again.

this is the same thing which i am experiencing. IE 7.0 with Vista

Mine doesn't work either. It does not even do a search. I've tried using both the latest and the one that Dev suggested for the jquery.

Scratch this we tracked it down to another plugin..

I cannot replicate this error, mine works fine with the ' character

Didt work for me :s

i did all wht it says but whenever i post a new thread nothing happens?

I installed this and then uploaded jquery, but nothing is displaying when I am putting in a title. I have disabled it for now, but would love to enable it if there are any ideas...

I love this mod......right now though the similar threads field is showing up at the bottom of my message field. Is there a way to move it? I have a heavily modded site and can't seem to find where the change was made on the template.

BTW, I am running on 3.6.5

Installed on 3.6.8. Failed when I used the .4 version of jquery, but works PERFECTLY with the linked version in the first post. OP should clarify this to help others. :)

waiting 4 3.6.8...................

This works if you install the linked version of jquery.

However, one question:

Currently it searches for and returns similar posts. It does not return similar threads. As a result, it will sometimes return the same thread 4-5 times, and not include other threads. Can you change this behavior to not include the same thread more than once, or change it so that users can select to search just thread titles?

thank you
but i does not work with me
can i know how i can do the template change manual ??

NM, I updated to 3.6.8 and the field is now in the right spot! This mod rocks!

Go to your vBulletin settings and search for 'Check for similar threads?'. Enable it.

But i can't see it in Board Options ( 3.6.8 )

Works great, clicked "install" thank you very much!

Uninstalled....

Thanks

When I first installed it on a 3.6.6 site today it was displaying the informational text and activity graphic under FF and IE but not the search results (it would even show "no ... found" message).

After installing and uninstalling it a few times, I deleted jquery-1.1.3.1.pack.js from /clientscript and uploaded jquery-1.2.js and then it would only show the initial informational text ("Notice: When you enter a thread title...").

I have since removed jquery-1.2.js, replaced jquery-1.1.3.1.pack.js, uninstalled and reinstalled the product several times and still have this behavior. So in summary it first never returned results at all and now does nothing but display the default informational text.

Doesn't show up in vBulletin options at all....

Works great if you do the "Things to consider:" stuff.

I have this problem when i post a new thread

Thank you MrNase for this wonderful wonderful mod :-)

Some people already asked this but you haven't replied so here is the question again...

How can we make this mod search the section that the user is in only?
This is very important for some forums like mine.

Thanks in advance :)

I am having the same problem where it looks as if it is going to work as everything is there the message and then once you enter a name and go to the text box it displays the moving circle image, but then nothing. It just stops and nothing is displayed? So no it doesn't work here. And for those still looking the options are located in the Message Posting and Editing Options.
