Google Helpouts is a service that lets users share their expertise using technologies from Google Hangouts. Shutting down on April 20, 2015

Site structure

  • https://helpouts.google.com/search?cat=/t/c/01&num=10 (search page)
    • no apparent limit on the num field
    • number at the end of the cat field is sequential from 00-10 (with a couple gaps)
      • cat field also accepts /t/c or /t, which appear to return results from all categories
    • there's also an optional sort field, it's value can be either r, p, or t.
