For launch, we disabled the similar topics feature in the topic compose window as the results weren’t so hot given the paltry content on our forum. We’ve grown and our forum content and posts are deep enough to turn it back on.
Now that it’s on—are there any ways to know how effective this feature is at deflecting a new post? I’m not sure what this metric would be, but something like # of similar topics clicked through? I poked around site settings, reports, and Meta, but didn’t quite find what I’m looking for.
To me, this is one of the value props for Discourse that I’d like to be able to report out. “Check out how many times Discourse saved a duplicate post and/or got a member their answer without any additional typing!”
Thanks for the confirmation, @codinghorror! As we’re continuing to push Discourse into more areas of our ecosystem, we’ll keep an eye on where this stands on the to do list. May dig into the hard way

Quero apoiar essa ideia. Seria muito bom poder ver a taxa de cliques nos tópicos similares sugeridos. Ainda melhor seria se pudéssemos ver quantos tópicos foram abandonados após o usuário clicar em um tópico similar sugerido.
Eu estava procurando exatamente por este recurso, porque o apresentei como um dos principais diferenciais na migração do Slack. Adoraria poder mostrar o impacto que "Seu tópico é semelhante a…" teve na prevenção de postagens duplicadas (na verdade, eu estava prestes a postar um novo tópico perguntando como fazer isso!).
