Assuming you mean search queries for finding WordPress sites and forums through Google, the approach that still works is built on Google's own search operators rather than long lists of copied footprints. A few patterns worth trying: - Put your topic in quotes and add site: to limit results to a particular site or domain, for example "your topic" site:wordpress.com. Remember there is no space after the colon. - Use a minus sign to cut out noise, for example -"something you don't want in the results". - Use the Forums filter under the search bar when you want discussion threads rather than blog posts, and the after: operator when you only want pages updated recently. The reason old footprint lists go stale is that they lean on platform markers such as "Powered by WordPress" or comment-form text, and site owners remove or change those all the time, so the same query returns a different mix of sites from one month to the next. Searching by topic plus an operator tends to give you live, relevant results instead. One thing to keep in mind: if the goal is dropping links in forum posts or signatures, Google's spam policies count forum comments with optimized links as link spam, so that route tends to do more harm than good. These queries work much better as a way to find communities worth actually reading and joining in.
