Google Search Within Orkut Forums (Sorkut)

I am not talking about the search feature mentioned on Orkut News, but rather the ability to search within a specific forum or community.

Known as Sorkut, this hack was developed by Rohit Kumbhar and is only available for Firefox users (sorry IE fans). For those fortunate enough to partake of the browser rebellion, you can download the add-on over here. Here is a brief description about Sorkut below:

Use this toolbar to search for threads with specific words in the title. Just give the cmm id of the community you want to search, enter the search term and click Search. Its basically an automation that an ultra patient person would go through for searching the threads he wants.

NOTE: You must be logged in to orkut to use this toolbar.

This hack is great but for those of you who are visual, lets do a picture recap below.

The CMM ID of a forum is the number at the end of the forum link.



Simply copy and paste that number into the CMM Id box.



Next, type in what word you want to search. In this case, I am searching a Christian community with the word "bible" in it.



This will bring up every post with the word "bible" in it's topic headline. For those of you who want to search for a word within the forum, simply check the Search posts box and it will Google the word for you.

Note: The Search posts may produce some errors, so I would suggest not searching for common words like "the" which can give Sorkut a headache.
