+ Info about URL Modifiers

Unlike the search operators these are not something you can add to the Google search box but these modifiers should be added to the SERP (Search Engine Result Pages) URL.





+ No Country Redirect

If you try to go to Google.com from countries other than the USA you will be redirected to the Google country domain, but if you add /ncr to the end of the URL it should take you to the .com version. Try these Google.com vs Google.com/ncr

+ &tbs=qdr:h - Results from past hour

With this URL modifier Google will display the results from the past hour. To trigger this just add &tbs=qdr:h to the end of the SERP URL. You can also modify the parameter to show different time ranges as shown below



— &tbs=qdr:s - Results from past sec, e.g. star wars

— &tbs=qdr:n - Results from past minute, e.g. star wars

— &tbs=qdr:h - Results from past hour, e.g. star wars

— &tbs=qdr:d - Results from past day, e.g. star wars

— &tbs=qdr:w - Results from past week, e.g. star wars

— &tbs=qdr:m - Results from past month, e.g. star wars

— &tbs=qdr:y - Results from past year, e.g. star wars



Remember you can also specify the number at the end of these parameters to specify the time e.g. &tbs=qdr:s10 = results from last 10 seconds, &tbs=qdr:n10 = results from last 10 minutes, etc.



You can also get the results from a specific date range e.g. results from 2015. Just use this parameter &tbs=cdr:1,cd_min: 1/01/2015 ,cd_max: 31/12/2015 ( swap out the start and end date as needed ).

+ &tbm=blg - Blog Search

Use this modifier to bring up blog results for your query e.g. blog search for puppy. Blog query can be further modified using these secondary parameters:



— &tbs=blgt:b - To only include blog homepages: puppy related blog homepages

+ &tbm=app - App Search

+ &tbm=app - App Search

+ &tbm=isch - Image Search

+ &tbm=vid - Video Search

+ &tbm=pts - Patent Search

+ &tbm=shop - Shopping Search

+ &tbm=nws - News Search

+ &tbs=li:1 - Verbatim

With this URL modifier Google will use the literal words you entered without making normal improvements such as automatic spelling corrections, looking for synonyms , etc. To trigger this just add &tbs=li:1 to the end of the SERP(Search Engine Result Pages) URL. Here is a standard search for beogle puppy where google auto-corrects your query and a verbatim search for beogle puppy

+ &cr=countryAU - Results from Australian websites

This operator only works if you use country specific Google domains, e.g. if you want to restrict the results to only websites targeting Australian users you can add the URL modifier &cr=countryAU to a query on the Google.com.au domain. It will not work on .com, .co.uk or other Google domains.



— Results from UK - Google.co.uk

— Results from India - Google.co.in

+ &pws=0 - Disable personalized results

Finding a lot of personalized results in the SERP? Look out for things like You've visited this page x times. OR results from G+ etc. Slapping on &pws=0 at the end of the SERP URL should give you non personalized results.

+ &filter=0 - Disable filtering of results

You might have noticed that at times you get a message saying something like this, In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the x already displayed. If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included. To get unfiltered result just add &filter=0 at the end of the SERP URL e.g. non filtered results.

+ &tbm=lcl - Bring up Local Finder
