I am certain I suggested this before and that its on your todo list.
Please consider to add a knowledge base. IMO its not needed to build a new article system, but rather just display article titles from an existing article system. The following integration with Vaultwiki, XenForo Help pages and AMS would be nice to see.
Vaultwiki is particularly helpful because it allows the community to create help articles.
Article management System integration would also be nice because its a well refined and full featured system.
XenForo Help pages is already available, but pages have to be added by the admin.
What I am suggesting is that after typing a ticket title, a function similar to 'similar threads' appears. Articles with similar titles will be displayed. See @Xon 's ElasticSearch Essentials for how it works.
The admin would need to define the source for the articles:
Vaultwiki, XenForo Help pages or AMS
And the AMS category or Vaultwiki Area to pull articles from.
For example if the title of a ticket is 'How do I register?'
Then articles from the 'knowledge base' category from Vaultwiki or AMS are displayed that are similar.
We have a Vaultwiki article 'Your Account' with chapters 'Registering', 'How to Register', 'Registration Moderation'. In Vaultwiki article chapters are searchable.
So under the ticket title, this text would appear: 'These articles may answer your question:' with a list of the aforementioned article. The member will likely click these links and not open a new ticket.
This saves 80% of the tickets.
