[DIYbio] Slightly OT: Google and discussion searches

I'm a big user of forums. The info there is really useful, whether its
sciences (methods, troubleshooting, etc), hobbies (taking apart
things, gardening, etc), reviews (technology, etc), culture, and so
on. Usually, I just use Google's Discussion search feature but a while
ago, they took down that option in searches. I made do with adding
"&tbm=dsc" to the url and that worked pretty well. Now, I think they
got rid of that also, or maybe selectively removed it for some users.

So, now I found a site called http://boardreader.com/ that does
something similar. But it doesn't really work as well. I used to get
good results back if I search technical stuff in Google's
"Discussions' option but this one doesn't find stuff from sites like
biotechniques or anything else.

You guys have any ideas? Such a great loss of information.

Note: Sure, I can use 'site:' but I don't keep a list of all the
forums out there.

Thanks
