Overview
Public Discourse communities are a distinct forum surface: long-form troubleshooting, operator notes, product limitations, and community-native workarounds. This channel starts with Linux DO as the first built-in source.
How To Search
api_search— queries the site's public Discourse search endpoint and maps topic-oriented results into canonical topic URLs.
Known Quirks
- Discourse search payloads can vary by site version and plugin stack.
- Some public forums may block anonymous search or require region-specific network access.
- v1 ships with a built-in Linux DO preset only; more Discourse communities can be added later through site presets.
Quality Bar
- Evidence items have non-empty title and url.
- Multiple posts from the same topic deduplicate to one evidence item.
- HTTP or payload failures degrade to an empty result list.
