## Problem
|
|
|
|
On standalone and FAQ sites, users can create threads with duplicate titles. There's no feedback showing existing threads before creation.
|
|
|
|
## Proposed Implementation
|
|
|
|
1. Add an AJAX search endpoint that returns threads matching a title prefix
|
|
2. Wire it into the "new thread" form with a debounced typeahead
|
|
3. Show matching existing threads as suggestions before submission
|
|
|
|
## Files
|
|
|
|
- `remarkbox/api/__init__.py` — added `api-threads-search` route
|
|
- `remarkbox/api/views.py` — added `api_search_threads()` endpoint (GET /api/v1/threads/search)
|
|
- `remarkbox/static/js/custom.js` — debounced typeahead for thread title input
|
|
- `remarkbox/static/css/common.css` — CSS for suggestion dropdown
|
|
- `remarkbox/templates/base.j2` — added `data-namespace` attribute to body tag
|
|
|
|
## Acceptance Criteria
|
|
|
|
- [x] Typing a thread title shows matching existing threads
|
|
- [x] Users can click a suggestion to navigate to the existing thread
|
|
- [x] New thread creation still works when no match exists
