Add ajax search for related questions/custom posts

Hi there,

Would really appriciate, if you could add a ajax search, which shows similar questions/custom posts, when the user types in title.

Then the user has to click on a checkbox which says “None of the questions helped me, I want too create a new one”.

Only if he checks this box, he can submit the question.

This is a really good feature. Maybe have it without the checkbox by default (just like stackoverflow, really). Hope this gets added!

I propose you use one of many wordpress plugins to make this custom experience. https://anspress.io/questions/question/has-anyone-used-anspress-in-conjunction-with-the-swiftype-wordpress-search-plugin/

Install an ajax plugin above default search or above something like Relevanssi. This is already implemented for creating a new question in AP. With some tweaking, you can do what you want.

UX case you described is interesting. After giving it some thought, it feels natural. I think when I will have time, I’ll implement it for my search page “nothing found” or after “found” results: “was that not good enough for you? Ask yourself”. Great idea, Zoker!

I’ll have a look at the links, thank you!
