I just noticed it also, but the search algorithms that are populating it, seem to have a mind of their own. Some of the "responses" are a bit off topic.
Regardless, if functional, a great idea.

I didn't want to embarrass myself and mention this if it had been there all along and I never noticed, so I'm glad to see that it is new. 
I agree that the results can be a bit haphazard at times, particularly in OMNI, but a decent idea. It seems to work well on other boards that I frequent...

For a few days there was a feature turned on that listed threads which were similar to the one you were looking at. I believe it used keywords in the opened thread.
It was turned off, if I read right, because it was causing search issues.
