I know this is frustrating -- we desperately need search and dupe checking. It's coming!
No worries. What's your backend look like? I imagine an async check against your DB is totally doable. But you guys are probably stretched thin rigth now.
It's not technically challenging and in fact we do have a dupe check on the URL but it's stupid simple (http:// is different than https:// URL's for example), just limited time right now working on this on the side.
