PSA: Search GitHub issues before opening an new issue

There have been a lot of duplicate issues opened on GitHub lately where the previous issue could be found by just searching a couple keywords before creating an issue.

If you want to express your support for an existing issue feel free to make a comment or reaction, it’s better than having to close duplicate issues.

Lol if people knew how to search, about 90% of Reddit, Quora and Answers.com just wouldn’t exist

Is there an open GitHub ticket to write a bot to find similar tickets?
