[Useful post of the day] Near real time Google results

[mrk]

If you save Google as a bookmark then replace the URL of the bookmark with this:

javascript:(function()%7B%20p=prompt('Search%20term:','');%20if(p)%7B%20document.location.href='http://www.google.com/search?as_qdr=n10&q='%20+%20escape(p)%7D%20%7D)();

And then click on the bookmark, enter your search text in the dialogue popup ....the results will be shown for all info on that term within the last 10 minutes

The code can be customised for any time value too so you can have several bookmarklets of different times.

Very good especially for people wanting to get results on the latest gfx card info leaks or news events etc.

The bit to edit for alternative time values is the value after qdr= so in the above the value is n10 where n = minutes and 10 = ....a number of some kind

Key:
"s" for seconds
"n" for minutes
"h" for hour
"d" for day

Already used this tons tonight, especially with msn's issues and the new Facebook status tagging. Great for digging up recent stories/posts. *thumbsup*

Results on your Google search term that have been added to the search data in the last 10 minutes.

Or, put simply... no, wait. That is simple enough.

An easier way - paste this URL into your browser...

http://www.google.com/search?as_qdr=n[i][b]100[/b][/i]&q=[i][b]search term[/b][/i]

Change the 100 to the minutes you need, and the last bit to your search. No JS shenanegans required.

That requires pasting that in to the address bar each time then editing though, my Op method is simpler, save it to a bookmark and have multiple bookmarks for different times, one for 10mins, 1 for 5 mins etc and just click the bookmark or sicne we're all using Firefox 3+ begin typing a bit of the bookmark name and awesomebar fills it in

Does it really matter when the search completes in a blink of an eye anyway?

 

[randal]

I fear you're missing the point.

The search speed is not the point, the fact that the data it's presenting i.e the search results are only 10 minutes old. That is to say have been indexed at Google within the last 10 minutes.

Amigafan in completely whoosh shocker
