REAL TIME SEARCH

Google just revealed real-time search.


If you’re wondering how to enable it, well… Real time search will be available for everyone in a few days. If it’s still not active for you, just do the following:

• Go to www.google.com
• Search for something
• Edit the URL so it contains: &esrch=RTSearch&tbs=rltm%3A1. For example, if the URL you’re getting is something like:

http://www.google.com/search?q=apple

Just change it to:

http://www.google.com/search?q=apple&esrch=RTSearch&tbs=rltm%3A1

As you can easily notice, the trick is just to set a couple of GET parameters. If you use Firefox, you can add these parameters automatically for every search. Just:

• Open Firefox
• Go to: Bookmarks -> Organise Bookmarks…
• Double click on Bookmarks Menu
• Organise -> New Bookmark…
• Name: Google
• Location: http://www.google.com/search?q=%s&esrch=RTSearch&tbs=rltm%3A1
• Keyword: g

That’s it. Now simply go to your Firefox main window and simply type:

g apple

as the URL, where apple is what you’re searching for.
Enjoy!
