I know, this is painfully detailed, but I hate it when people are too vague.

This is designed to grab the url, edit it accordingly, paste it back in, and refresh the page with the new url. Thus it can be applied to virtually any url customization need.

For more google search changes, first run a search. Copy the url. Run another search using the search tool of choice. Copy url and compare. The difference is the bit of code that implemented the search tool. Use that to replace the "&tbs=qdr:y" Of course you can stack as many as you want one after the other in that same string.
