How to find a post you made or participated in in G+ Sorry Google, maybe searching is one of your businesses, but G+'s search simply does not work. Finding that one post you made or thread you commented is insanely hard and time consuming. But I found a shortcut.
🐺 Create and download an archive of your G+ data in html format.
-Go to Google Takeout https://www.google.com/settings/takeout?utm_source=OGB&pli=1,
-unselect everything and select only Google+ Stream.
-Click [Next] ; then [Create Archive].
- You can close the Takeout site
- Wait a bit to receive the “Your Google data archive is ready” mail
- In the mail click the [download] button, enter your password and download.
🐺 Unzip that takeout zip file somewhere convenient on your computer.
🐺 You’ll find there one html file for each thread you participated in.
🐺 Use your computer’s search tools to find what you need in the decompressed directory.
🐺 Often, just looking at date and filename is more efficient than trying to use G+’s search (´_`)
🐺 Once you have the exact text of the post, copy some of it in the G+ search, you’ll find your post.
If you find this interesting but don't need it right now, save it somewhere where you'll find it back easily, as trying to find it back with G+'s search will probably just fail.
RépondreSupprimerThanks a lot.
RépondreSupprimerBut I cannot understand for the love of the d20 why google (yes, google) can't make a decent search in G+.
That's just pure insanity.
Because G+ is dead and Google doesn't have any Talk with the dead or Raise dead spell?

Pfff, that's some weaksauce -wizard- cleric.
RépondreSupprimerGoogle needs to level up !
Just a "limit search to community" option would do wonders for me.
