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.

Adds a 'Discussions' or 'Forums' button to Google Search results pages, enabling users to filter search results for forum and message board content.

Google removed its built-in 'Discussions' search filter. This extension restores that capability by either using Google's forum search parameter (udm=18) or appending inurl/intext operators to the query to surface forum discussions.

User performs a Google Search. The extension injects a 'Discussions' button into the search result filters bar. Clicking the button modifies the search query to filter for forum/message board results. User can cancel the filter via an inline ✖ button.

Target users: Users who want to find forum discussions and message board content via Google Search / Researchers and developers looking for community answers on forums

Extension is very small (8 files, ~25KB) so analysis is comprehensive.
GitHub source code is referenced but not analyzed separately (store link: https://github.com/stri8ed/google-search-discussions).

Monetization

No paid features detected

No payment infrastructure, premium tiers, license checks, or feature gating exists. The extension's full functionality (adding a Discussions/Forums filter button to Google Search) is available to all users. The 'pro' keyword matches are false positives (one in metadata hash, one in JavaScript 'Promise').

Confidence: 100

Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: The extension is a pure content script that modifies Google Search pages by injecting a button. It uses chrome.storage.sync only for persisting user preference (mode setting). There is no authentication flow, no API calls requiring credentials, and no account system.
