Search forum discussions from Google's Forums tab (Reddit, Facebook groups, Stack Exchange, Home-Barista.com and similar communities). Every result carries its community, comment and answer counts, relative age, and - where Google serves them - the answer sitelinks of that thread. Related searches and pagination come from the same result page, so one request returns the full picture. Requests that fail upstream are never charged; a valid empty result page is a successful, charged request.
