I want Google to return 100 search items in Firefox. All the descriptions of how to do this mean you have to do the search, then go to the end of the address bar and add &num=100 and enter.

This is very tedious so I set up a special bookmark which did it. So I'd do the search, then click the bookmark on the bookmark toolbar and it would expand the hits to 100. However, I've lost the bookmark and I can't remember how I did it.

When adding a bookmark to the toolbar you need to specify the URL. In this case the URL will be the generated address from the search, ie. the current URL each time. How can I specify the curent URL when it is a dynamic address? It needs to start with "http" in order for it to be in the right format to save.

Hello,

You can do this with a bookmarklet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmarklet

Make a bookmark on the Bookmarks bar with the URL, click it after a search returns ten results: https://www.reddit.com/r/DigitalMarketing/comments/1e4gkzx/comment/llhw2i8/

Be sure not to make too much requests to Google. They have rate limiting. You can change ('num','100') by ('num','25').

Is this what you where looking for?
