I get quite different query parameters. For example, I just searched for [foo] from the Firefox search box, and got these:
http://www.google.com/search ?q=foo &start=0 &ie=utf-8 &oe=utf-8 &client=firefox-a &rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official
...not one of which is listed in the blog post. In particular, I've always had "q" for the query string, and not "as_q". |
Phillip Odd, I must have missed "gl". I'll look into it and add it.
Roger I assume the "as_q" stands for "advanced search". You raise a good point though. I'll go though and add the parameters from Firefox and Internet Explorer. |
Yeah, AFAIK some of the "as_"-prefixed parameters have their unprefixed equivalents. "as_q" and "q" is one of them.
"as_sitesearch" and "sitesearch" have the same meaning too, but they differ slightly in implementation details. With "as_" – the "site:example.com" is automatically added to your query box, whereas the unprefixed one doesn't do that. Additionally, "as_dt" only affects the prefixed "as_sitesearch", not the other one. Compare these URLs to see what I mean: http://www.google.com/search?q=google&sitesearch=wanted.eu.org http://www.google.com/search?q=google&as_sitesearch=wanted.eu.org http://www.google.com/search?q=google&as_sitesearch=wanted.eu.org&as_dt=e
BTW, some of the parameters are not well documented on Google Search help pages, but they are quite similar to the parameters from Google Search Appliance, which are documented here: http://code.google.com/enterprise/documentation/xml_reference.html |

Thanks, I'll look into that. |
detailed explanation, eh? take a look at this :) http://www.googleweb20.com and go to Advanced search and also to Specific searches |
how about:
&pws=0 (disabling persnalized search) |
I am also missing the parameter for faces-part for the imagessearch (was in the news recently) |
jacob
&imgtype=face
Seems Google Image search has an advanced search as well. |
