Whenever I search for a trope, I have to scroll past a bunch of forum posts to find it. Sometimes there are full pages of forum posts in the search results. Is there any way to limit the search to only tropes?

Add "inurl:pmwiki.php" to your query to restrict results to wiki articles only.

Using general Google search (rather than the one in the bar at the top of the site), start with site:tvtropes.org inurl:pmwiki.php/Main/ and then enter your search terms. That should get you most trope pages and minimal other pages (no forum threads/posts, but potentially some work pages if they aren't namespaced).

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
