That ever was a feature? I’ve never done that.

I didn’t dig much but the code for the button is:
```plaintext
{{create-topic-button canCreateTopic=canCreateTopic action=(action "createTopic" searchTerm)}}
```
So why passing `searchTerm` if we don’t do this? Also I don’t see the point of new topic button here, if it’s not to create a topic after you didn’t find what you wanted. So making it filled with your query totally makes sense… to me at least 😃

Hmm, I don’t think this was ever a feature?
The only feature I remember like this is creating a new topic from a _custom_ link with pre-populated title, category, body params etc.

Is that part of the search statistics? How many times someone created a topic from the following search terms?

Indeed that would make sense, will look if it’s this.
