When searching Google I often want to share a link to my search. (not to a search result, to the current page with the results)

Many years ago Google used to have excellent URLs. For example:

https://google.com/search?q=Tokyo%20Disneyland%20Rides

Nowadays, however, links copied from Google look more like this:

http://www.google.com/search?q=perverted%20stuff!!!!&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.49967636,d.d2k,pv.xjs.s.en_US.jOYpRJj4zMA.O&biw=1253&bih=789&safe=active&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=P5b3UaWdE8iO7QbMyIGoDg#um=1&hl=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=Tokyo+Disneyland+Rides&oq=Tokyo+Disneyland+Rides&gs_l=img.3..0j0i24l4.1334.1334.0.2188.1.1.0.0.0.0.118.118.0j1.1.0....0.0..1c.1.20.img.2rhtDhNSwrA&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.49967636%2Cd.ZGU%2Cpv.xjs.s.en_US.jOYpRJj4zMA.O&fp=47041e3f94e8fa63&biw=1253&bih=789&safe=active

(I started my session by searching for "perverted stuff", moved to image search, and eventually changed the search to "Tokyo Disneyland Rides")

The URL contains 24 query parameters - most of them seem useless. My initial search is also included there, and is almost the first thing you see when looking at the URL.

Is there a quick way of getting a beautiful URL I can share?

I'd rather not [create it manually][1], or use a URL shortener - I need good URLs that are obvious to the viewer.
