The facts aren’t in English so not very useful here. Interesting that I need supporting facts but the person who claimed the opposite doesn’t.

Google used to have this. It showed search results from all kinds of different forums. Remember vbulletin and phpbb? It was a really useful feature and I don’t know why Google removed it. I guess the equivalent search function in 2022 woul
