Google Search Console adds Discussion forums search appearance filter

Google Search Console added a new filter to the performance reports named “Discussion forums.” You can access it within the search performance report, if your site is eligible to show Discussion forums rich results.

What Google said. Google announced this on LinkedIn and wrote:

Starting today, Search Console will show Discussion Forum rich results as a search appearance in the Performance reports. Learn more about how to be eligible to this feature [at this help document].

What it looks like. Here is the filter option within Search Console’s performance report, after you click on the search appearance filters:

Gsc Discussion Forums Search App

How do you get this. Google said you need to be eligible to show discussion forum rich results, and there are more details on that in this help document.

Why we care. If you have discussion forums markup on your site and your site shows rich results for them in Google Search, Google now lets you measure the performance of those results.

Google can show you impressions, clicks, rankings, click-through rates for those snippets.
