Cases like yours and this one where search terms differ enough but have answers are likely the exception rather than the rule and should be allowed. BTW, thanks for that link but not the hours I spent following that trail ;-) Search affects everyone - seems like it should be enhanced... | |
| Dec 14, 2015 at 16:48 | comment | added | cb4 | @JoshCaswell Upon further reflection, I am generally against duplicates. In an ideal system where search returned appropriate results, users would see that their question has already been asked. In rare cases like yours and this one | |

Duplicate of Related questions in "Ask Question" page is better than the search tool | |

| Dec 12, 2015 at 23:06 | comment | added | cb4 | @Josh Caswell I am not against duplicates. The problem is that, after going through 70+ search results, I shouldn't have to get a third of the way through creating a new question before I find out that there is a duplicate. | |

| Dec 12, 2015 at 20:34 | comment | added | jscs | One small correction: the prevailing view on (well-written) duplicates is that they are good to have around because they broaden the search surface, making it easier for people who think of different keywords to find their answer. | |
