Hi
I want to search all discourse installations using google. For other boards, sometimes people do inurl:forum|viewthread|showthread|viewtopic|showtopic. But discourse urls are so minimal (/c and /t ?) there doesn’t seem to be anything to get a hold of. Or maybe my google fu just isn’t up to the task.
I guess this is a shot in the dark, but is anyone aware of a way I can do something similar, searching all discourses in google via specifying inurl?
thanks
My particular use is a bit niche. But there’s actually a wider niche that this fits into, which is that a lot of people used to find the google search feature “Discussions” to be really valuable for finding excellent content about a topic. You can re-create that feature, for the old style boards by the inurl term I mentioned above. But you still can’t include Discourse in that.
Myself, I’m actually looking for a way to find and narrow down venues to have a particular conversation in a modern way ie I have invited a friend to a sort of debate, and we want to have modern tools available to us to have it, and to have it in a somewhat appropriate place.
Thanks for posting this. I’m looking for something similar. I like the Discourse platform and the level of discussion it creates. I’d like to find a community that uses this platform. I’m looking for a place where there may be debate, as you are, but I’m interested in other types of discussion as well. If you find a way to find more Discourse forums, I’d also be interested.
