"How do I make Firefox Tool searches in specific Custom Range the default search time period?"

Hello,

How do I make Firefox "Tool" searches in a specific Custom Range the default search time instead to be the "Any Time" default?

Thanks.

Hi JPVisual.com, are you referring to the "Search Tools" on the Google results page, where you can specify a date range after you do the initial search?

I posted a page a while ago that lets you create additional search plugins for Google search incorporating a date range. These are added as additional search engine options, instead of replacing the built-in one, so you can test them and if they don't do what you need, you can remove them.

Let me know what you think.

If you need an arbitrary date range, like 1/1/2018 - 12/31/2018, my page can't create that.

One option is to create a "keyword" bookmark. To set that up, you can edit the dates in this query:

https://www.google.com/search?tbs=cdr:1,cd_min:1/1/2018,cd_max:12/31/2018&q=%s

The %s is a placeholder.

Once you have your query URL set up, select and copy it.

Then create a new bookmark; it's not critical whether you do it on the menu, toolbar, or in "Other" bookmarks. You can use right-click on one of those > New Bookmark

  • Name => whatever you like to identify this query template
  • Location => paste the URL
  • Keyword => something short that you'll type, for example, g18 for Google 2018

Then click Add.

To use this bookmark, type the keyword portion in the address bar, for example, g18, then a space, then your query. When you submit it, Firefox will use the bookmarked query template for the search.

Thanks but it’s not what I was looking for. Thank you though

Hello JPVisual.com,

This may not be what you want either, but you could use this URL for a thumbnail on the new tab page :

https://www.google.com/search?tbs=qdr:y&q

Replace the y (for year) with d for day, w for week or m for month if you prefer a different range.

Maybe you could explain in more detail what you are looking for.
