The
Shortest Google Search URL
What if you want to include a link to a
Google Search results page and the URL needs to be short? Instead of copying the URL from the address bar and including a lot of unnecessary parameters, you can manually build a simple URL:
http://www.google.com/search?q=test
Obviously, you should replace "test" with your query. If there are multiple keywords, replace space with "+" like this:
http://www.google.com/search?q=test+my+speed
You could drop "www." from the URL:
http://google.com/search?q=test
Google **w uses AJAX to load
Search results, so you can replace "search?" with "#":
http://google.com/#q=test
You can even drop the slash after "google.com" and the URL works in most desktop browsers, but **t in mobile browsers. You could also replace "google.com" with "google.ca" or other
Google domains, but you'll get different results.
Fortunately,
Google owns the googl.com domain and you can use this URL:
http://googl.com/#q=test
