Search Bar Auto Complete
When your users type in the search bar on your forum they will see suggestions based on what they have typed so far. The terms come from phrases used in your index rather than just common words. This means that it should work well for niche boards, any language, etc... This can really help reduce missed searches.
Works with:
Integrated tag search
Include tags and without tags in various advanced search forms, instead of just searching for tags by themselves.
Similar Threads
On a new thread, provides potentially similar threads as the title is being created.
On viewing a thread, provides a list of potentially similar threads (based of title and any tags). Uses caching to reduce hits to the search system (but still requires at least 1 SQL query to ensure visibility checks).
Suggestions/"Did You Mean" Functionality
There are two different "Did You Mean" features. One type is for even when the user has results for their search but there is a more popular, similar, term in your board's index. This can lead to better results. It also helps reduce typos. The other type is for when there are no results for their query, they will be presented with a list of similar terms that appear in your index.
