Forum Search Engine

Boardreader The tagline for this one is 'Connecting communities through search' but to be honest, the only communities that I can see it connecting are those of snails. A search for CILIP on Twitter brought back 4 results, months old, and when I did the same search in their boards/topics/forums section the results were similarly months old. Really can't recommend this one, so I'm just mentioning it so that you don't waste your time looking at it if you find it yourself.

Hello Phil,

I use forums a lot for genealogy purposes but have had a hard time finding a good search engine for them. I have tried Boardreader, Omgili and Boardtracker (down for the moment). Ironically I've been getting the best results from Google, genealogy-specific mind me. Would you have any other recommendations for forum/discussion board search engines?

By the way, thank you for your excellent content, I follow your blog *almost* religiously, love your finds and your search engine reviews.
Hope London is sunny, have a great sunday and thank you!
