Get ready for an onslaught of complex code that will shake you to your core:
javascript:void(location=location+"&as_qdr=w")
Once you drag the following link into your bookmarks, you can click on it to make Google reissue the current search, but limit the results to those updated in the past week. It will show google’s date drop-down so you can opt to change it to the past [d]ay, [w]eek, [m]onth or [y]ear (or remove the date limiter).
If you prefer the default for gWhen to be another time period, just replace the “w” in the link below with the first letter of the period you prefer.
gWhen <- Drag that puppy into your Bookmarks and assign it a keyword
As with all other bookmarklets that I use somewhat regularly, I assign a keyword to so I can just:
command-l
bookmarklet’s keyword [gwhen in this case]
[press enter]
For other great bookmarklets (esp increment and decrement for which I have keywords of inc and dec, respectively), see Jesse’s Bookmarklets
I’m too busy to test it in multiple browsers. If you notice it not working in some (reasonable) browser, let me know and some day I’ll get around to fixing it.
