google says this sets the search to within the past year:
"https://www.google.com/search?tbs=qdr:y&q=%s" (remove quotes)

How do i make it default to that?

I'm using win10 and Chrome

thx
Bookmark your url and use that? (that's the first and easiest suggestion i found)

Also i found this, i do not use Chrome so i'm not sure if it actually works but you can give it a try


If you are using Chrome, you can create your own search engine (credit to http://blog.jerodsanto.net/2011/08/a-better-way-to-get-recency-based-google-searches-in-chrome/ for the idea):
  • open Chrome settings, select "Search", "Manage search engines"
  • scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, and add a new search engine
  • give it a name such as "Google Recent", a keyword (I use "r") and the url http://www.google.com/search?q=%s&tbs=qdr:y&tbo=1
Then, in the chrome url box, type the keyword followed by a space, and the prompt will change to "Google Recent", and searches will be filtered to be in the last year.
