I'd love to add an option - but what if you find it useful and ruin the mod's zero rating I've worked so hard to maintain since 2012? I don't want to take that risk

Dear Bugo when will you update to 2.1.4 ?

[Bugo]

The modification was originally designed to be installed on the entire SMF 2.1.x line, where x is any number.

Hello! I have an odd bug on 1.0.1! on MySQL For some reason its unable to parse 3 letter words.

E.g. If I have two topics with the word cat in their name:
1. "I would like a cat" and 2. "I love cats"

and then I try to make a new topic called "cat", it will only suggest "I love cats" as a similar topic because it has a 4 letter word that's similar, it wont see the first topic at all.

Has this been fixed in later versions? or do you have any suggestion about whats causing the issue?

EDIT: Actually other results are super weird too; sometimes it applies to 4 letter words as well; searching "help" will only suggest topics with "helping" in the title, while not displaying topics with "help" or "Help:" in the title.

I presume if this was never fixed it still applies to the newest version too; I had a good look over the git commits and found nothing that appeared to be related.

I have a suggestion.  On the Display list of similar topics when creating new topic, I've found that the search refreshes with each keystroke, and that can be annoying.  So much so, that I turned it off.  Is there a way to tweak this mod so that it only does a refresh upon moving off the subject line?

Open Themes/default/scripts/simtopics.js,

find

Code Select Expand

  document.querySelector('input[name="subject"]').addEventListener('keyup', function () {
    if (this.value.length < 1) return true;

    let timer;
    clearTimeout(timer);
    timer = setTimeout(() => get_simtopics(), 1800);
  });

and replace with

Code Select Expand

  document.querySelector('input[name="subject"]').addEventListener('blur', function () {
    if (this.value.length < 1) return true;

    get_simtopics();
  });
