New "Similar Threads" feature

So how do you guys like the new feature popping up at the bottom of certain threads showing "Similar Threads"?

If I was searching for information, I think this would be a great feature.

From what I've observed, the search match is a bit ambiguous with off topic results. To be honest, I really have not looked at it all that much.

I saw it, but I hadn't looked at it yet. Notice this thread doesn't have it.
Joe, you are just too unique.

I saw it last night but was not sure if it was new or was always there and I just never noticed it before. I did click on a couple of the links and they were not really related to the original post. Plus they were from different forums.

Even the legendary thread has two "similar thread" tags. Neither of which are anything like it.

It's not totally useless thought. If someone is just looking around it can produce more "click through" counts.

Stop yelling at me mister! I was just crossing your lawn to get to my friend's house so I could video him breaking his arm falling off a skateboard after jumping a ramp made out of an old tailgate, a plastic chair, 2 concrete blocks and a soda can.

I think it depends on which thread you're looking at. For example, the hood dowel thread below has what appears to be 2 or 3 very helpful thread titles dealing with the same thing attached to it. I give it a thumbs up. It can't hurt.

it is not a "new" feature. it has been around for close to 6 months. the only difference is it was all the way down on the bottom of the page where most people did not see it. the "new" feature is moving it to be under the posts, but above the quick reply box.
why it does not show up in this thread is kind of strange though.

I like it and have used it a couple times but, even tho the topic may be similar, if it doesn't pertain to your era truck, the info may not be germain. Still, a useful tool and I need all the help I can get!!
