Notes for a Bookmarklet that fixes Wayback Machine archivals of Google Search queries
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/04/01
For a while now, after initially displaying archived Google Search results, it changes the Wayback Machine archival URL after displaying.
Examples:
https://web.archive.org/web/20230322163526/https://www.google.com/web/20230322163526/https://www.google.com/search?q=excel+last+delimiterhttps://web.archive.org/web/20230321192712/https://www.google.com/search?q=excel+textafter+textbefore+textsplit+site:https:%2F%2Fsupport.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Foffice%2F&google_abuse=GOOGLE_ABUSE_EXEMPTION%3DID%3D3020867903a1f6fa:TM%3D1679426832:C%3D%3E:IP%3D207.241.225.236-:S%3DTSrpWMPwWKoNpiXh-oD21Q%3B+path%3D/%3B+domain%3Dgoogle.com%3B+expires%3DTue,+21-Mar-2023+22:27:12+GMThttps://web.archive.org/web/20230321192712/https://www.google.com/web/20230321192712/https://www.google.com/search?q=excel+textafter+textbefore+textsplit+site:https:%2F%2Fsupport.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Foffice%2F&google_abuse=GOOGLE_ABUSE_EXEMPTION%3DID%3D3020867903a1f6fa:TM%3D1679426832:C%3D%3E:IP%3D207.241.225.236-:S%3DTSrpWMPwWKoNpiXh-oD21Q%3B+path%3D/%3B+domain%3Dgoogle.com%3B+expires%3DTue,+21-Mar-2023+22:27:12+GMT
I want to write a Bookmarklet that fixes these.
There is not much in the results of
[Wayback/Archive] “GOOGLE_ABUSE_EXEMPTION” “Wayback” – Google Search, but I think this happens when there is a high frequency Google Search archivals from the Wayback Machine.
