I quite like the way Stackexchange displays a list of similar questions when you're submitting a new question. It doesn't stop you from posting, but it does give pause if you didn't know it existed.

Yes, stackexchange really got this right. Many times i've been searching for the answer to a question on google, even with site:stackoverflow.com. I don't find anything and eventually i give up and decide to post a question myself but after writing half of the question, stackoverflow finds a previous post about this very topic which answers my question.
I also experienced this. I believe it's due to the fact that I phrase my questions differently from how I phrase my searches. :)
