As Google power user, I believe you should use Google search tools pretty often. For example, you would like to seek articles that was made last month:

It used to take 1 click to set search time options. Now it requires 3 clicks.

It is not as easy to set search time options as it used to be. I want to share a script made by spmbt, that will fix the problem:

This is what Google Search interface will look like with script installed

Download the googleSearchExtraButtons script

Just install script to your Google Chrome browser (open your chrome://extensions/ and drag .js file there), it should work on other browsers as well (Firefox GreaseMonkey should support it).

Just a little hack that is making my life easier.
