I was doing some reading on google and it's various tricks. I stumbled on this page: http://www.google-watch.org/cgi-bin/cookie.htm

I decided to see if this works, since I have my preferences set to dispay 100 non-filtered results per page.
I followed the directions from above link, the only modification I made was when I disabled cookies I went to Tools>Internet Options>Privacy and at the bottom clicked on web site cookie over-ride and then put http://www.google.com in the list to always block cookies from.

After deleting all cookies I went back to the search page I'd bookmarked and still got 100 results on the page.

Just to be sure, I ran an identical search from my computer using the bookmarked search page and my roommates computer. My results were that mine were still unfiltered (giving more results) and still displayed 100 results per page.

After completeing several test searches I checked my cookie folder to be sure there were no google cookies...all clear there.

Unfortunately, using the google toolbar from my browser returns results using googles default settings....any ideas on how to get the toolbar to reference the bookmarked search page?
