[FR]: Detect and notify of potential scholarship duplicates

[josueetcom]

Is there an existing feature request for this?

• I have searched the existing feature requests.

What is your feature idea?

If you add a scholarship that basically the same as another one there's no easy way to know the scholarship already exists. After the user enters basic info we should search the database for similar scholarships and notify the user of potentially duplicate scholarships. We could look for similar scholarships based on name, deadline, amount, website, description and display warning if we find something (e.g. 3/5 or 4/5 of those match).

Whatever we come up with, we should test it with our current data set and make sure false detections are at a minimum.

What alternatives have you considered?

We could potentially use ML for this. We could also just let users load all scholarships and Ctrl/Cmd-F the page. Or maybe we can add search somehow and that'll make finding duplicates before adding them faster?

A combination of #997 and sorting by name would allow users to scan through the list of results and find a specific one. Also if we have a search box that'd be cool too.
