Bookmarklets: Recent Google Search Results

I’ve been busy for a while, but I wanted to share a quick tip.

If you haven’t heard of bookmarklets, they are just a bookmark that contains javascript code instead of a link to a website. These bits of code can do trivial tasks to save you time, or add some additional functionality.

I regularly use Google to do advanced search by Day, Week, Month, or Year. This is a very helpful search to make sure you are getting more recent information - instead of something that is years old. This functionality is not on the main google page, so it becomes a pain to go to advanced search, click the hidden section of the advanced features, select the ‘Date, usage rights, numeric range, and more’ then put in my search request.

Instead, I created a couple quick bookmarklets that search Google results in the last Day/Week/Month/Year:

Feel free to save these, and get back recent results in google.
