my secret search method is gone :(

So a loooong time ago, someone posted a link to a search tool someone had come up with to search TB forums since TB's search function stinks. It was on the Infertility Veterans' blog. I used it to look up old posts all the time.

And now their blog is suddenly private so I can't access it anymore. I understand their wanting privacy, but that search page was really awesome, and I don't know how to set up something like that. It was like a custom google search that only searched TB forums.

Does anyone else have a good way to search the forums?

  • You can go to Google, type your search phrase, and then follow it up with site:community.thebump.com

    That will search community.thebump.com only using the term you wanted to search by.

    That's the closest thing I can think of without going out of the way to not be completely lazy.

    ETA for clarity:  To try this out, copy and paste (without the quotation marks) "julia rose's birth story site:https://community.thebump.com".  You'll get a link directly to the post of that name on the Birth Stories board.

    I'll have to try that the next time I need to stalk someone...I mean, look up an old post.
