in reply to Super Searching before you post

This is the first time that I'm posting and have never asked a question before.
That being said, would it be a "good idea" TM if when submitting a question that a search results page come up asking if the asker has checked out nodes related to the question before allowing the question to be "offically" submitted?

    I'd reply telling you that if you had searched first, then you would have found that this has already been proposed a few times, but such a reply has already been given more than once and so my reply would be a repeat, so...

      If such a function is such a good idea, why not implement it?

      I know that it would take some work by those with higher reputations than I possess (0) but if those that complained so much about searching first would lend a hand I'm sure that such added functionallity would be useable in many other knowledge based systems.

      Thanks for taking me to task for not searching, I should have known better, but considering the nature of the non-searched posting, it now seems a little more appropriate.
