You are talking here about changing a feature that I use 0% of the time to be even more annoying

Our relevance check is super ghetto at the moment, I guess if you had a 90% match on the title with another title… Maybe… But so many people will just type “discourse is not working” getting a half decent algorithm going for forums is just super duper hard

I think we should do some testing here to see what we are returning in “real life”, how often is it helpful, etc.

First thing is that the results need to be much more useful. Also I wish I could opt out of the feature at tl2 or 3
