These days everyone is going behind real time search knowing the potential of Twitter and Facebook .

But this interesting article shows that even Google can be used for real time search.

Google web search results can be limited by time frame using the “search options” link on every page.

But the searches can also be limited to results indexed minutes or seconds ago by making a simple change to the
search results page URL.

Time-limited search results pages include a parameter called QDR – perhaps standing for Query Date Range.

We can change the number following the letters qdr and change the timeframe for our search.


METHOD:

By default when we click on “search options” and limit a search to the last day, the qdr appears as “d.”
Change that to “n” and we will be limited to results from the last minute, to “n10″ and we’ll see results discovered in the last 10 minutes – or “s30″ to see results from the last 30 seconds.
