How to Make Gmail Show More Than 20 Results Per Page When Searching

By default, Gmail displays only 20 results per page when you perform a search. This figure is not configurable by any means through Gmail’s settings page. If you would like to increase the number of results returned, all you have to do is change a simple parameter in the URL. There is even a bookmarklet to help you do that.

When you search for, say “from:flipkart”, in your Gmail inbox, the search URL shows: 

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?shva=1&pli=1#search/from%3Aflipkart


gmail-search20



Simply replace the string “search” with “section_query” and hit enter, so that the URL becomes:



https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?shva=1&pli=1#section_query/from%3Aflipkart


gmail-search20plus



Now you can see up to 100 results, or whatever number of conversation your inbox is configured to show. The default is 50, so you may see only 50 results. You can increase this to 100 from the Settings page under “Maximum page size”.



gmail-conversation



Programmer Joseph Reddington has created a handy bookmarklet that you can drag to your bookmarks bar and click it every time you need more results.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run. So, here is how you can do that.
