source content

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.
