Is there a plugin to automatically search for possibly related issues when entering a new issue?

[Borek Bernard]

Here on answers.atlassian.com, when I type a question into the Question field, it automatically searches for possibly related posts. It would be useful to have this functionality in JIRA when I fill in the Summary field. Is there a plugin or configuration option to do that?

Suggestimate is a commercial one! Also see http://blogs.onresolve.com/?p=123 and https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-1633

For the onresolve link there is an updated version of the script at https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/browse/JBHV-90.

Hi Borek, you could try using Virgil - http://blogs.atlassian.com/2011/01/virgil___guiding_your_users_to_relevant_resources/ - the tool that is powering suggestions on answers.atlassian.com Source code available at http://atlassian.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/developer/Virgil/VirgilCode.txt. Virgil has been updated since that blog post - http://blogs.atlassian.com/2011/09/introducing_virgil_v2/ but I don't think Atlassian ever publicly released Virgil 2. Hope that helps, Andrew.
