Pop Up Messages

Hello...
 
I'm an Admin that hasn't had to do a whole lot of customization, but I have fallen under a new IT group and they have some ideas that I think would be great to add to SF.
 
Since I've come onboard and done some research in our db, we have many many duplicate contacts.  I am dealing with that as a side note, but would like to know if I can add a pop up message to SF that is triggered when someone clicks create new contact, that basically says, "Please make sure to search the database before entering a new contact!" 
 
If I could do that in Red along with a button to have them confirm that they have, that would be even better.
 
Thanks,
Rob

check out the search first then create application on Salesforce AppExchange:

called Record DeDup.
it's basic but powerful concept.

Another way would be to overide the new Button of Object with a S-control which will check whether duplicate record exits and if yes get a pop up message you want,and then call the URL for new record page for that object.

Also you can write a APEX trigger on insert to check for duplicates and generate Error messages according to your need.
