Lets say I have a [link](https://meta.discourse.org/t/searching-by-link-address/92406) inside my post. Is there a way to find that post by searching the link?
The normal search doesn’t support this.

Are you looking for a single link or a list of links that have been shared?
You can access the list of URLs via the [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) plugin if you have that

I don’t want to use a plugin. I want to use built in discourse search.

Our search tokenizer currently strips out link locations (the `href` part). I agree it makes sense to improve this so searching `microsoft.com` would automatically find all posts with links to `microsoft.com`.
I am adding this to my list as a nice small improvement we can make to search.

@nbianca this is a fun little change for HtmlScrubber in search\_indexer.rb , we don’t have to worry about history here. Can you add to your list?
