it shows results for 1 seconds, then redirects to https://www.google.com/webhp?tbs=qdr:y

Total failure. Just had to close all chrome screens and reboot chrome. All links were found but then if you clicked a link results would go to a screen where chrome got lost and then went to a hung screen or new / old google screen you had never seen or sceen a LONG TIME AGO. LUCKLY REBOOT OF CHROME AND DISABLED PLUG IN FIXED IT.

Nice, although it needs the option to set custom range, I prefer to set my custom range for 6 months. One year is really too long and a month is too short. Too bad it doesn't work in the address bar. What about clicking on the options button to pull up a search box to type in similar to ducduckgo extension does? Not perfect, but better than having to go to the search page and then do a search.
