For some types of queries, the best results come often come from online forums. What’s the best place to eat in San Francisco? What type of RAM should I buy? Where do I find a flux capacitor? Recognizing this, Google has added a new feature to its search results, highlighting several relevant forum posts on sites that have a large number of posts on a specific topic.
In the image above, my query was “best Intel motherboard” Google has recognized that tomshardware.com contains a forum with several relevant topics, showing it below the main result, together with the dates when those topics were created.
In certain situations, this could save us plenty of time, as you can jump directly to a forum post without searching for it on the actual site. Being able to see the date of topic creation is handy too, as you can quickly filter out old info. I’d like to see a setting that enables you to see more forum results, though; four forum topics often isn’t enough.
