Question about Google search of forum

[coberst]

Can anyone tell me how Google searches a forum?

 

I assume that Google must first be allowed to search a forum. I also assume that Google searches only the OPs.

 

Does Google also search the complete thread just as they search the OPs?

It depends on how the forum owners want their forum to be spidered. Google sees Hypography as a "visitor", so it sees a bit less than logged in users. It does index threads but not single posts.

Thanks for that info!
