Everyone know that its good to search for an answer that you are looking for in the forums before posting. This works 99% of the time too.. But i guess efforts have not been made to encourage the user to search!
I have to agree, Lee Holmes' idea will definetly lessen quite a bit of those redundant posts on the forums if implemented!
Great job!

Its a great effort. Two observations for UI

1) It looks a lot right now like Google Ads when populated. Which the eyes have been trained to ignore. So it needs a better Visual Representation.

2) This one is a bit tricky. Right now its perfectly un-intrusive - which could be a good thing. It does it thing I do mine without worrying.
I think there needs to be some more visual clues to indicate me to look in the column for answers. Since its an unusual interaction - not one might expect to happen. Hence once I focus out of the textbox there should be something interctive to pull my eyes to SEE the results rather than continue typing out my problem without looking the results pulled out.

it turning out to be a great idea!

I just tried it. This feature works incredibly well. I think you should make it standard ASAP!
