Let's say I want to share the results from my query. There seems to be a lot of meta data in the query string.
Which variables can be removed from the URL to still give a functioning Google search?

I tried removing all the variables except the
qstring. It seems to work fine. One thing to note is that Google uses the#symbol, instead of?which you normally see with query strings.So, as an example, the URL would be:
http://google.com/#q=my+query
