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

Code:
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 :p

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

Paraphrased from Lifehacker :)
 
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 :)
