The ultimate guide of Google Query Parameters
When you write the "www.google.com" in you address bar of browser you will find the URL such like below:
https://www.google.co.in/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=EZvFVbmLNa-t8we1wL-oDw&gws_rd=ssl#q=query+string
Now what is it? How the google passed the search parameters whenever we search. Take a look.
- Here we divide the entire google url into different parts the First part of URL is based on the country
Like: www.google.co.in (India), www.google.co.uk (United Kingdom), www.google.ca (Canada), google.co.nz (New Zealand)
- '?' is the symobol where further query string is passed
- 'gfe_rd=cr&ei'
- 'gfe'means Google Front-End,
- 'rd' means Redirect,
- 'cr' means Country, (till this you can find in all websites)
- 'ei' means Engine Id
- ei is with some random combination of alphanumeric is a cookie sent to our desktop..
In our example url, it is ei=EZvFVbmLNa-t8we1wL-oDw after the '&' symbol which connects different parameters and make one query string
After the & you found another parameter 'gws_rd= ssl' which redirect the our google.com to more secure page of google which starts with "HTTPS://" that is the 'Secure Socket Layer' certificate for HTTP security,
HTTP + SSL = HTTPS
Now here is actual your query is to be started with simple symbol 'q' and that is below in our example.
q = query+string
Each time while you searching in the google, just check it, whatever you write in search box will be braked into different words(called Keywords) with '+'(plus) symbol that is the 'OR' operation in Logic of Computer
Here our search = query string, will be braked into 'query + string'
