RE: feature suggestion
The best way to do it is with the FULLTEXT indexes, MyBB 1.0 RC4 has this functionality already built in. (similar threads)
The MySQL SOUNDEX function can also be used to establish "similar sounding" words if you don't want to do full text title matching/relevancy matching. Be warned this is much slower than the full text columns.
The vBulletin similar threads system works with their built in thread/post indexing system which is also used for searches. It works similar to the above full text capabilities.
Random: MyBB was actually the first forum software to ship with the "Similar Threads" functionality by default. It used to be enabled by default too, however due to MySQL compatibility problems with some servers, it is now disabled by default.
