Google Search Hacks. Recently indexed content.
The Return of the URL Hack: Finding Google’s REALLY Recently-Indexed Content
Posted: 21 Sep 2009 04:34 AM PDT
A big thanks to Ran at Omgili.com for his recent blog post about turning Google into a near real-time search engine. You can do it too! Here’s how it works.
If you’ve been reading ResearchBuzz for a while you know about hacking URLs — changing parameters so that the pages display different kinds of results. Ran hacked a Google search result URL and changed the search results so that they were being returned only for items that had been indexed in a very small period of time — like a few seconds!
Here is a basic Google search for the word fred.
http://www.google.com/search?q=fred
Ran hacked the tbs parameter, which possibly stands for Time Being Searched? The tbs parameter, added on to the end of a query, can look like this:
&tbs=qdr:d (searches a day’s worth of indexed content)
&tbs=qdr:h (searches an hour’s worth of indexed content)
&tbs=qdr:n (searches a minute’s worth of indexed content)
&tbs=qdr:s (searches a second’s worth of indexed content)
You just add the parameter to the end of your query. So if you were searching for content containing the word fred that was indexed in the last minute, the query would look like this:
http://www.google.com/search?q=fred&tbs=qdr:n
You can add a number to the end of the parameter to indicate a span. For example, &tbs=qdr:h3 at the end of a Google query will find content indexed within the last three hours.
Note that this parameter seems to work only in Web search — I didn’t get any results when I tried to use it in news, images, etc.
So what do you DO with this? You can find content that Google has indexed really really really recently. :-> You can also use these switches to dig around in Twitter. For example, say I want to search Twitter for Tweet accounts that describe themselves as the “official” blah-de-blah. I can’t do that with Twitter’s search page because I can’t search in just the biography text. But you can with Google using the following query:
site:twitter.com “Bio * official”
By adding &tbs=qdr:h3 to the end of a search URL for the above query, I could search Google for recently-indexed Twitter accounts/updates in a way that Twitter’s search page doesn’t allow me to. Now, will this get you everything? My assumption is no; I go by the rule of thumb that an external search engine applied to a source will never get everything that that source’s internal search engine will. But I got enough that I wanted to look around some more.
Or you can use Twitter as a Deliciousesque search using Google! The following search will look just in Twitter users’ favorited lists for the word “tool”:

Macrium Reflect FREE Edition - Information and download: "The fastest disk imaging software is now available as a free edition."
How Do I Make a Disk Image?
Some flavors of Windows Vista and Windows 7 can make "system images" which are backup disk images. To create a system image on Windows Vista, Click on Start / Control Panel / System and Maintenance / Backup and Restore Center. Then click on "Back up Computer", and follow the steps in the wizard. On Windows 7, you'll need to click on Start / Control Panel /Backup and Restore, then click "Create a system image".
Note that this system image feature is available only in Vista Business, Enterprise and Ultimate editions, but not in Vista Home Basic or Vista Home Premium. It's present in Windows 7 Ultimate, and I'm guessing it will also be in Windows 7 Professional, but not in Windows 7 Home Premium.
So if you have Windows XP, or some other version of Windows that does not provide the System Image feature, you're not out of luck. Try one of these commercial or freeware disk imaging applications with different approaches and benefits:

Our Living Language Our word geek is now chiefly associated with contemporary student and computer slang, as in computer geek. In fact, geek is first attested in 1876 with the meaning “fool,” and it later also came to mean “a performer engaging in bizarre acts like biting the head off a live chicken.” Perhaps the use of geek to describe a circus sideshow has contributed to its current popularity. The circus was a much more significant source of entertainment in the United States in the 19th and early 20th centuries than it is now, and large numbers of traveling circuses left a cultural legacy in various unexpected ways. Superman and other comic book superheroes owe much of their look to circus acrobats, who were similarly costumed in capes and tights. We also owe the w"
