Apologies if this is a duplicate question/suggestion re: DU3
It's currently tedious to search for duplicates when posting (say) in LBN: one has to pull up a search and try to guess what keywords might appear in another post, so actually finding an earlier post can require several searches

Could DU3 at some future time implement an auto-search at the "preview post" stage?

I mean something like this: when filling in the original forms, the user might be offered (say) three boxes for keywords -- and when the "preview" button was pushed the software would search LBN for posts containing one or more of the keywords in the last three days: the candidate posts would appear as hyperlinks

Variants of this scheme are, of course, possible: the point is to try to streamline by combining the search for duplicates with the posting process somehow

1. I think an automated solution might not work very well.
But I would not rule it out.
