Open rajktech opened 4 years ago

rajktech commented 4 years ago

Suppose I opened three urls

  1. google.com/index.php?arg=1
  2. google.com/index.php?arg=2
  3. google.com/index.php?arg=3

then it will show 3 times "google.com/index.php". However it will open correct url on clicking.

The problem with showing the query parameters is that a lot of pages have useless ones that take up a lot of space; for example, here's what most Google searches look like with the query parameters shown:

I guess it might be possible to detect what "useful" query parameters are and only show those, but I can't think of a simple way to do that.

i dont have any issue to show all urls with different-2 parameters. However we can apply this removal technique with google url only as google will show multiple searching results only.

I believe the only viable option is to show the first X query parameters (having it as a setting perhaps).

Having a system that tries to detect useful query paramteres is bound to fail, either by not detecting a "useful" parameter that is really obscure or by not considering a parameter that is important to the user. Also it will be hard to follow changes in parameters of different sites.
