Where in forums program does the cool similar threads auto-search come from?

[HelpLuperza]

So one of the coolest things I think about PSU is the ability when I create a new thread for me to know immediately similar threads (*). I am kind of curious where in vbulletin does it come from? It is a general vbulletin setting or something special?


*Which I didn't know about till Hamma pointed it out to me, and I enabled the right cookie.

It is not default feature of vBulletin, it is a modification.

Now I am really curious how you guys pulled it off such an interesting feature.

I mean certain websites... *cough https://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/...discussion.32/ cough*, could really use the something that helps reduce number of newly created redundant threads.
So how did you guys modify the forums to add this search feature to the create thread? Do you think it something that could be replicated on Sony-related other sites?

P.S. I am going to pm about you just in case

They use different form software. It's possible, but they would have to write their own modification.
