Did you mean? is a Redmine plugin designed to warn users before they enter duplicate issues, in an attempt to mitigate issue tracker misuse. It was inspired by the way Stack Overflow handles the insertion of duplicate questions.
When users fill in the subject field of new issues, the plugin automatically searches among the existing ones for possible duplicates (i.e. issues having a similar title) and displays them right below the subject field.
The search is triggered right after users leave the subject field, and for now it is just a simple keyword search. Next versions of the plugin can leverage full text search. Get in touch if you want to help with that :)
Just download the latest stable version of the plugin archive from the tags page and uncompress it in $REDMINE_ROOT/plugins (for Redmine 2.x) or $REDMINE_ROOT/vendor/plugins (for Redmine 1.x), where $REDMINE_ROOT is the root folder of your Redmine installation. Make sure the plugn folder name is redmine_didyoumean (in particular if you are installing from a tag tarball or zip).
If you want to install the development version of the plugin and you are using Redmine 1.x, you can issue the following command
ruby script/plugin install https://github.com/abahgat/redmine_didyoumean.git
You can find more information about how to handle Redmine plugins here.
Configure the plugin by navigating to Administration > Plugins and select the Configure label on the line for Did You Mean?
