Can you post the resulting url here? Someone may try following it.
Please note that a link may(?) encode info you may not want to share, so maybe remove long parts from it. Section selectors are usually short: tbm=isch, tbm=shop, etc.
- consumer451 2y agoHere is a google search for Hacker News after I clicked on the "Forums" tab. I was sure to use the same google account that is associated with HN, and little else. I appreciate the heads up on that though. People should know these things. BTW, this was Mullvad into Prague. https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=ccfd9b9fc01db35a&authuser=2&sxsrf=ADLYWILk9qn7OwGi0uexwOu1s4jX2HsRHw:1731147442874&q=hacker+news&udm=18&fbs=AEQNm0Aa4sjWe7Rqy32pFwRj0UkWZJPk1C9buWu--tLPKEpSxLqGfZiWMqdk6VF37sVUbkfuZLTj2oNC7EnrW0kOrs5_4krBoFEmATPCqkQeaJLJsmk7QkGe9VgMxIPjoD3YkjDenhlyKrteLEYwrfgDR_jftCCQChZVZSNzuteuEXPQixorTag&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjdqovjgs-JAxU-9gIHHSFfF98Qs6gLegQIGRAB&biw=1920&bih=967&dpr=1 https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=ccfd9b9fc01db35a&authu...
- wruza 2y agoYes, when I follow it, it now shows the "Forums" section, and it stays there if I switch to e.g. All or Web from there. It's likely encoded somewhere in the long "fbs" parameter, cause it disappears once I remove it. But you can search forums with just udm=18. E.g. https://google.com/search?q=Foo&udm=18 https://google.com/search?q=Foo&udm=18 -- this means you can create a custom "search with >" item for it. Also, 6 https://www.google.com/search?q=Foo&udm=6 https://www.google.com/search?q=Foo&udm=6 -- "Learn", returns mostly learning resources and references. 8 https://www.google.com/search?q=javascript+near+san+francisco&udm=8 https://www.google.com/search?q=javascript+near+san+francisc... -- "Jobs", seems to use "<title> near <location>" format. 15 https://www.google.com/search?q=Foo&udm=15 https://www.google.com/search?q=Foo&udm=15 -- "Attractions", seems defunct. 36 https://www.google.com/search?q=Foo&udm=36 https://www.google.com/search?q=Foo&udm=36 -- "Books" 37 https://www.google.com/search?q=Foo&udm=37 https://www.google.com/search?q=Foo&udm=37 -- "Products", strange one 44 https://www.google.com/search?q=Foo&udm=44 https://www.google.com/search?q=Foo&udm=44 -- "Visual matches" ??? 48 https://www.google.com/search?q=Foo&udm=48 https://www.google.com/search?q=Foo&udm=48 -- "Exact matches" ??? 51 https://www.google.com/search?q=Foo&udm=51 https://www.google.com/search?q=Foo&udm=51 -- "Homework", looks like "Learn" I guess 44, 48 is probably how image search works.
