Reveal URL in search results?

[Winston]

Pardon if this has been 'done to death here'.

I'm trying to document URLs on the web but my search results
contain links that are all crudded up with browser-specific
garbage if the link is longer than say 67 characters.
I see that duckduckgo still does this properly and I can edit
the results string from Yahoo to clean off the junk.

I want clean URLs after duckduckgo and Yahoo change to the
Google model. I don't want to run the crudded URL through
a link shortener because that won't get me the clean link.

I searched for a FAQ for netscape.public.mozilla.browser.
I Googled
I Yahoo'ed
I even duckduckgo'ed

Nothing!

Here's an example:

duckduckgo "Copy Link Location" URL:
http://www.cs.washington.edu/lab/facilities/hwlab/pdfs/syndoc/synpro_tutorial.pdf

Google "Copy Link Location" URL:
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=synplify%20pro%20tutorial&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CC8QFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cs.washington.edu%2Flab%2Ffacilities%2Fhwlab%2Fpdfs%2Fsyndoc%2Fsynpro_tutorial.pdf&ei=uPF-T9OvB4_QiAKF27C-Aw&usg=AFQjCNHHMCbRNgBTMCvzHUirTIQUGyDLIw&cad=rja

AltaVista "Copy Link Location" URL:
http://search.yahoo.com/r/_ylt=A0oGdOZ.8n5P0kkAhFIPxQt.;_ylu=X3oDMTByZWgwN285BHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA3NrMQR2dGlkAw--/SIG=135ko2ka0/EXP=1333748478/**http%3a//www.cs.washington.edu/lab/facilities/hwlab/pdfs/syndoc/synpro_tutorial.pdf

Your thoughts, please?

Thanks.

A. One of these Firefox extensions looks like it could do the job.

Redirect Cleaner
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/redirect-cleaner/

Redirect Remover

You might have noticed that there are hardly any real posts
in 'here' (this group), except spam. As for why this is, see

Thanks, Ralph!

Armed with your info, I uncovered the *Redirect Cleaner 1.7.0*
add-on for my browser 'Seamonkey'.

It works perfectly.

OIC!

I've dropped netscape.public.mozilla.browser and am now subscribed to
mozilla.support.seamonkey.

Thanks again!
