Great! I'm welcoming this new member in my growing list of default Google search parameters:
https://google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&nfpr=1&verbatim=1&pws=0&filter=0&tbs=li:1&udm=14&q=%s https://google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&nfpr=1&verbatim=1&pws=...
Update: looks like my Google url doesn't fit anymore in full on HN :(
- yetanother-1 2y agoDo you mind to add short explination for each param here ( I know only few). Thanks!
- noname120 2y agoSure! – hl=en → force language of results to be in English, otherwise Google regularly prioritizes other languages. – gl=us → force location to the US. – nfpr=1 → stop autocorrecting “““typos”””. Google doesn't always respect quotation marks unfortunately. – verbatim=1 → search as is, it complements nfpr=1. – pws=0 → disable personalization. – filter=0 → stop “filter[ing] out some of the results for a given search” in order to “enhance the user experience”[1][2]. – tbs=li:1 → stop including other forms. e.g. without it searching for “test” also returns results that contain “testing”. – udm=14 → disable AI-augmented features. – q=%s → the query itself! ———————— [1] http://www.google.com/apis/reference.html http://www.google.com/apis/reference.html (dead) [2] Mirror: https://web.archive.org/web/20021201103155/http://www.google.com/apis/reference.html#2_3 https://web.archive.org/web/20021201103155/http://www.google...

- Jenk 2y agoif you put it in code format I think it doesn't truncate (testing it now...): https://google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&nfpr=1&verbatim=1&pws=0&filter=0&tbs=li:1&udm=14&q=%s e: huzzah!
