Google Forum(discussion) Search 20140917
by Paul Newman
Conduct Forum(discussion) Searches using Google's own Search Engine Modifiers.
This is the only option to search forums within Google (using their modifiers).
This add-on has been marked as experimental by its developers
About this Add-on
README: Google recently dropped their forum search that gave you the option to only view forum results.
Not sure the point of this since forums are still indexed, just not directly searchable (only indirectly).
This is just for the top right search engine. There is nothing fancy, just search engine modifiers.
If the results are not to your liking, you can edit them in the appdata/"searchplugins" folder.
----------
PRIVACY
The searches and suggestions are provided via Google's index.

PETITION
Google got rid of their forum search tab option. We now have to rely on modifiers to make forum only searches.
Below is a petition someone made to bring back this feature.
