Adds back the discussions button to Google search results, which enables you to search forums and message boards.
Update: Google has since outright disabled the discussion search functionality. As a workaround, the discussions link will now modify your search query and add some relevant filters.

New in 1.4.10
• Added options page. Toggle between original "Forums" button, and discussion filters.
• Fixed extension to work with latest version of Google.

- Breaks search tabs apart from "All" or "News". Have to disable the extension
- Cody Henderson
- As recent reviews have mentioned, this extension breaks the ability to navigate to other Google search tabs like Images and Products. I'm a big fan of this extension and hope that this issue gets resolved soon.
- Dennis van Zon
- I truly do love the extension but when activated, a few other tabs stop working for me. Like images, products and a couple more. Need to disable "discussions" to acces them.
- Zak N
- Breaks google image search button, please fix! As it stands I have to toggle on/off when I want to search discussions/images respectively. Great extension, I use it frequently, but a deprecation has developed.
- Agaba Okwori
- It's a very useful extension but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (i mean the discussions button won't even show up at all)
- Yuri Chuck
- Discussion button not visible. Help developers. I tried all the recent solutions below but the problem still persist?
- Israel Andres
- not working fine with images button, long time already
- B V
- sizing overwrites the element for "images" on the toolbar in chrome So you can't click on images or videos
- Ghryst VanGhod
- not working on any google search pages/parameters
- Arjun S
- Current Bug: Interfere's with 'images' button, and completely breaks the redirect to image search. Workaround: Scroll down normal search page until 'Images' are suggested, and click there. Discussions button still technically works, but breaks functionality of sibling element. Tried reinstalling, issue still persists. Please fix
- Shaun J
- Used to work great but now stops Images from working as it breaks the URL of the sibling element
- Rob DeForge
- Really loved when this was working, but I am also having the issue with the images button not working. I tried uninstalling the addon and reinstalling it, but now the discussion button does not show up at all? Any tips? I used this all the time!
- Allan Duan
- Works, but causing an issue where switching google accounts from the new tab page causes all links on the page to redirect towards https://www.google.com/search?q=undefined&
- J C
- Used to work great, now it doesn't work at all and is interfering with my standard searches. It prevents me from doing image and video searches, for example.

- I would gladly pay up to $15 dollars to have this extension fixed to work with the current google UI.

- Great extension! However, it seems to break the layout of the tabs for me and also triggers some anti-bot checks from Google. It's understandable, Google changes the content of the page and it's hard for an extension to follow and adapt to every change. If someone wants the same feature without the extension to avoid breaking the layout, you can create a bookmark in your browser and paste this as the URL: javascript:sp = new URLSearchParams(location.search); sp.set('q', sp.get('q') + ' inurl:forum|viewthread|showthread|viewtopic|showtopic|"index.php?topic" | intext:"reading this topic"|"next thread"|"next topic"|"send private message"'); location.search = sp; Then, everytime you need to filter the search results, simply click the bookmark. Hope it helps.

- I added this extension but I do not have a "more" button in order to select it, therefore it's completely useless to me. Very disappointing.

- For some reason it also shows any page with "forum" in it's name and also pages in other languages like german or french and even though I am a polyglot I speak netheir of those! Extension safes a lot of time when you want to look for forums and such but honestly it could have been much better. I understand Google is an evil corp yare yare but there must be a better way, there is always one.
