Searching Discord externally is not possible AFAIK. It's an actively user-hostile platform, which is doubly irritating because most community efforts (e.g. modding of games) mandate Discord and allow for nothing else. Frequently they don't even accept communication from another space, such as bug reports via email or GitHub.
