Script Summary: Removes all extra unneeded/long url (location bar) when searching Bing/Google/Yahoo! Motty Katan(c) 13-01-2012 last updated 14-01-2012
Mozilla and Chrome compatible.
Google/Bing/Yahoo! text search only. Removes everything from the querystring when searching (except of course the text you searched for).
The URL on your browser/sniffer whatever will be transformed from a to b:
a. = http://www.google.com/search?hl=XX&q=STRING&oq=...
http://www.bing.com/search?q=STRING&go=&qs=n&sk...
b. = http://www.google.com/search?q=STRING
http://www.bing.com/search?q=STRING
Open issues:
- Switching from images/video etc. back to search results with long URL
- Major: Inside images/video etc. redirect to web search but afterwards, it's possible to switch again to the desired tab with no more consequences.
- Bing: when the suggestions are open an added "sc=some number" is added.
- Bing: remove &FORM... at the end of function every url). For example when clicking on Bing's Logo the URL has bing.com/?FORM=STRING
- Chrome: pressing on enter keyboard key results with long url (currently not supported).
- Yahoo! issues with enter keyboard key - long URL.
- While trying to deal with Enter key in chrome, I'm causing now the Yahoo! button to be a bit shorter in width than it should be. No text emissions
