Info Challenge

Today the whole world wants to be updated and the competition is getting tougher everyday Google, the search giant has not revealed a truth that through a trick one can catch every minute and even every second report. A URL hand editing will let you to the search results where every single minute or second updates will come in front of you as a result for your search on a specific key word.

One can say it’s a hack because Google has not revealed this option to people Ran Geva, CEO of Omigli has found an interesting hack to make Google come up with real time search results.


Omigli is a specialized search engine that crawls UGC on many ‘real time’ platforms on the web. Google has introduced time based search options on web results back in May which was the closest it got to real time tracking of the web. The highlight of the timelines being the ‘most recent’ feature which gave results of content that came up in the past 10 15 minutes (usually averaging at 20 mins), besides features such as past 24 hours, week, month and anytime.

This was a feature that they initially had only for Google news. Regular users can access this feature by clicking on Show Options just below the search box in the Search Results page.

Now these features obviously works on some tweaks within the URL to tell the Search Engine what specific period is the user looking for in terms of search. Ran explains that the URL itself is where you can tweak the results to get more real time measures from the web.

What Google isn’t telling you is that you can search in the past minute and even in the past second. The trick is to change a parameter in the URL that will narrow down the time frames. Let take a look at a simple example:
I have tried these searches on Google news


Search for windows 7 in the past month:-

http://news.google.co.in/news/search?um=1&ned=in&hl=en&q=windows+7&as_qdr=m&as_drrb=q&cf=all

Here qdr=m

Than I have tried and narrow the search to week

http://news.google.co.in/news/search?um=1&ned=in&hl=en&q=windows+7&cf=all&as_qdr=w&as_drrb=q

Here qdr=w

More narrow the search to last day

http://news.google.co.in/news/search?um=1&ned=in&hl=en&q=windows+7&as_qdr=d&as_drrb=q&cf=all
qdr=d

Now the point to notice is that URL parameter qdr:____ changes every time once we are narrowing our search

http://news.google.co.in/news/search?um=1&ned=in&hl=en&q=windows+7&as_qdr=h&as_drrb=q&cf=all
qdr=h

Notice the URL parameter qdr:d. The assumption is that qdr stands for Query Date Range . now to get real time search for the query in the past minute is to change the parameter to qdr:n, and for the past second to qdr:s.

Of course, your curiosity is on the peek to know how you can limit the search to minute and then second so it is as simple as this :-

For getting the news related to past minute just change Url :… qdr:n ( results will come of last minute)
