#2Always a good idea to truncate one's search queries when sharing with others down to a simple "/search?q="
Example: https://google.com/search?q=google

#3I can't read the content on my small Android screen, zooming in hides the blog content.

#4It irritates me that all this stuff is sent in the URL. Personally, I would put the query (and query-related) things in the URL, then use POST parameters for the stuff that the user needn't see.

Well that would break back and forward history navigation as browsers require you te explicitly resend POST parameters.

#7Are there any add-ons out there which allow you to remove specific parameters from the URL before requesting it? This would be very useful for me, as I have a slight (probably OCD-related) problem with the parameters added while browsing YouTube. Before I start viewing a video, I always remove "&feature=related" and similar ones appearing, causing a reload. I would prefer not requesting with those parameters in the first place.

Also the possibility to bookmark and to send a link to somebody else.
Also after all, you want to GET the search result, not POST anything.

Yes, you can find a bunch of Greasemonkey scripts for Google and Youtube doing exactly this. An alternative might be NoCrap, which sounds like a useful thing (I have to admit that I haven't used it though) http://www.ghacks.net/2012/01/17/nocrap-removes-annoyances-f...

#10The most important parameter of all is missing i.e. ncr (no country redirect), which, ironically stopped working for me in the last few days.
Can someone confirm that the following query gives non personlized search results?: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu&ncr=1&pws=0
btw, this thing has been my #1 complaint with google for years. How hard is to make a completly 'neutral' non personalized version of Google available at a specific adress or with a checkbox in your google account.
