Posted by jpluimers on 2018/05/04
This message was sent because you may have an older version of the Google+ app installed on one of your mobile devices.
Now if the message would tell on which device, I could find it….

Search in Google+ – Computer – Google+ Help
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/12/18
I forgot how long it took them and how frustrating searches were without the new search operators, but they finally are there. So you don’t have to click again for the advanced options, I’ve quoted them below.
So earlier this year Google sort of restored the classic search (Remember when G+ search was useful? It again is. « The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff) making it on par with the 2013 [WayBack] Search tips within Google Plus – WebSIGHT Hangouts and now they finally topped it.
Yay!
Details:
- [WayBack] Search in Google+ – Computer – Google+ Help via Advanced search operators… to the Google+ search box… – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+
- [WayBack] Google beefs up the search in Google+! After some six years, they are finally adding keywords which let you focus your search, just like you expect from a search company :) … – Lars Fosdal – Google+
Lars Fosdal made a nice concise list of it.

Remember when G+ search was useful? It again is.
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/08/04
The big G+ news this week was that they brought back search, years after they made the G+ search useless, so jokes like at [WayBack] Ikey Doherty – Google+ “Remember when G+ search was useful?” finally can be left behind us.
Now that they finally made it useful again, I’m happy with it.
A few example searches to get the hang of the URL syntax:
- My own posts about WMC, most recent first: https://plus.google.com/s/WMC+%22Jeroen%20Wiert%20Pluimers%22/recent
- My own posts about WMC, top posts first: https://plus.google.com/s/WMC+%22Jeroen%20Wiert%20Pluimers%22/top
- Your posts about WMC, top posts first: https://plus.google.com/s/WMC/posts?order=top&scope=you
- Your posts about WMC, most recent first: https://plus.google.com/s/WMC/posts?order=recent&scope=you
- Everyones posts about WMC, most recent first: https://plus.google.com/s/WMC/posts?order=recent&scope=all
- Followed peoples postsabout WMC, most recent first: https://plus.google.com/s/WMC/posts?order=recent&scope=followed
News sources:
- [WayBack] Kristian Köhntopp – Google+: I would not have thought it possible, but after just several years of user feedback Google actually unfucked the search. It’s almost as awesome as their adblocker – absolutely essential, but too little, too late.
- [WayBack] Jaana Nyström – Google+: WOOHOOOOOO! The Classic Google+ style search is back! Now one can again search their own posts, even hashtag search works better. Top post vs. latest function, too. ❤️
- [WayBack] Roderick Gadellaa – Google+: #thatsaplus
- [WayBack] Anna Kiyantseva – Google+: …we’re rolling out a bevy of improvements to G+ Search — most visibly, you’ll find that typing into the search bar no longer interrupts your search attempts by taking you to Explore. That means that your results get to you that much faster!That’s not all…
- A new, tabbed interface will make it easier for you to find the exact type of content that you’re looking for.
- In the posts tab, you can filter based on the post author. Finally, you can look back at your many years of G+ posting without being distracted by everyone else’s Neko Atsume updates!
- Popular Topics are now displayed in the search bar dropdown.As always, let us know what you think and we hope you enjoy!

Why each Google+ comment should get its own Web address – CNET
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/07/10
Sure, I’d like to be able to spotlight a Google+ comment by sharing a specific Web address. But Google’s social search effort would be the real beneficiary of comment permalinks.
After 5+ years, this is still on my wish list too…

If you have enough Chrome Google related tabs open, Google will DoS G+ for you
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/11/03
I very often see the captcha. Today Google managed to DoS G+.
It happened right after RDP-ing into my work machine that has like ~100 research related tabs open of which about half are Google hosted pages.
G+ wouldn’t work as those tabs send so many G+ requests that Google effectively did a DoS on G+ for my IP-address and user (switching to another user was fine).
Google doing a DoS on G+ because all the open tabs generate G+ traffic
Later this got simplfied into this:

Topic: [Resolved] Sharing on Google Plus Private..? Why? « WordPress.org Forums
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/11/01
The below is even more convoluted when you have ad-blockers installed: then the G+ integration won’t even appear and the behaviour differs between classic G+ and current G+.
So here are the steps:
- Remove the WordPress link from https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions
- In your blog settings (for me that’s https://wordpress.com/sharing/wiert.me) remove the G+ integration; do this in a Chrome incognito Window if the G+ integration is not visible
- At the same page re-add your G+ integration and follow further steps at https://jetpack.com/support/publicize/google/#reconnecting
Modern G+ settings at https://plus.google.com/settings does not have the above permissions integration link but classic G+ at https://plus.google.com/settings?gmbpt=true&fd=1 does.

Hi there,
I have good news!
A few weeks ago, Google+ made some changes to their API. In doing so introduced some issues with Publicize. The module still worked, but the updates posted by the WordPress app on your Google+ Profile or Google+ Page were only visible to you.
In the past few weeks, we’ve worked with Google+ to start using a new API. That API works just like the old one, with one exception: publicized posts are now public. You can’t change the visibility of publicized posts to “My Circles”, or anything else.
If you’re happy to have Publicize publishing public posts to your Google+ Profile or Page, you can follow the instructions below to delete your old connection, and then reconnect your Jetpack site to your Google+ account:
https://jetpack.com/support/publicize/google/#reconnectingI hope this helps.

Dan Hirsch: You probably have a Google Apps Account. There’s no switch back to old G+ for Google Apps aka GSuite users anymore.
