Info:
User can check if the same/similar thread already exist when posting new one. Button is shown right after the thread title field in newthread form. When button is clicked then javascript code opens popup window with search results. Entered thread title is used as search query. Additionaly you can choose to search thread titles only or entire posts, to show results as threads or posts, to search current forum only or all. You can also exclude forums in ACP, set default pop-up window dimensions,...
All search permissions (by usergroups, forums) will be applied here too.
Installation:
1. Import XML file (as product): AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
2. OPTIONAL (for very customized styles - if button not shown):
In newthread template find: <td><input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" /></td>
Below it add: $cybcheckifposted
To set options go to: AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Cyb - Check If Already Posted

It would be nice, if you could add a feature, if a topic is already posted with the same name, and someone doesnt check if the topic exists, that there will be shown an error after trying to submit this topic.

your idea not bad mate but that will let members doesnt post so i dont think its good but if he do an ajax feature to let the member know its already posted just when he put title but if he do it like errors really it will make forums a bit not good because some members doesnt know these stuff they will think your forum have problems it will be annoying
Thanks Cybernetec but after updating, i am not able to post new threads
When i click post new thread (after entering title and message) the page just keep loading..no action after that but in background the new is really posted
So, i request if you can share the previous version with me?
just tried creating a new thread with the EXACT title as the thread below (I did it with different options to make sure it wasn't me) and it didn't pick up on them.
The thread isn't a brand new one, and isn't archived. Clicked install... now clicking uninstall
