I always lacked current operators. There are plenty of different Google search functions, but some of them are completely unsuitable. For example, why in order to set the language of the required web pages, I have to go to Advanced Search every time or edit the GET request variables in the page URL? I don’t even speak about the machine driven “& num = 100”. The strangest thing is that some of the parameters from Advanced Search are implemented as operators, some are not.
I always wanted additional search operators to appear covering these rather useful functions. And only last night I caught up: “After all, you can implement them with the help of user.js!” Sketched the planner, sat down for a few hours (for there is no javascript from me) and proapdatel the already known “
Tuned Google SERPs ”.
So, at this moment the following operators are available:
')
co: <two- letter_code_country
> - sets the country from which you are performing web surfing. It is useful if you decide to see "and what positions my site has in terms of issue for Argentina."
lang: <two-letter_code_language> - sets the language of the pages displayed in the results. For example, you are looking for materials in Russian about a fashionable hedge or program. How many have done before? They wrote an English name and some Russian word. For example: "iphone 3g review". But firstly, it narrows the range of searches, secondly, Google recently focuses on the fact that this word was in reference to the article, the article itself may be English-speaking and may not contain a word. Having installed the script, we boldly write “iphone 3gs lang: ru” and enjoy the full range of materials in Russian. The second case that comes to mind is the intersection of words in different languages. For example, on Russian inquiries, Bulgarian pages sometimes come out. When I first saw them, I thought with surprise that these were the pages of the next Udaff site. With the help of the operator "lang:" you can fold these extraneous pages.
loc: <two-letter_code_country> - sets the country in which the website is located.
num: <number_ot_1_to_100> - sets the number of output results. It would seem, why not set the "100" in the search settings! However, as a rule, the classic ten is enough. Only in some special cases it is necessary to increase this amount.
There is one “but” in the implementation of the operators: if you, like me, use the browser search bar or search shortcuts directly in the browser’s address bar, the operators will not work due to the fact that this is just javascript embedded directly into the page, and not into the browser. However, similar, “tricky” operators are most often used for clarifying repeated requests, after we saw that the usual request did not produce what we wanted. Well, and we repeat the repeated requests already on the search engine pages, where the script will work.
We install , test, report bugs, make good suggestions for improvements ...
