Javascript Bookmarklet Get Url Variable, Open Multiple Search Windows

Question

I tried for months to build this myself before asking but at this stage I'm forced to accept that I will only ever be the worst kind of code-stealing script-kiddie and am terrible at javascript.

Confession over, I need a single bookmarklet that when run, will get 1 variable from the URL (i.e. q=2075083, ALWAYS a 7 digit number, q will always be the id), open 2 new tabs, each one using the variable grabbed to perform a custom search in each of the other two tabs.

There's only one more caveat - I will need to add more search tabs in the future :/

And I'm LOST trying to make it myself. Can anyone lend their expertise or advice?

This is an operation I perform hundreds of times a day, and it would significantly reduce the amount of mouse clicks and copy-paste operations I'll do.

Thank you dearly to anyone who can help or advise.

P.S. I've gotten as far as the code below (which I'll make in to a bookmarklet at a later stage).

function getQueryVariable(variable)
{
       var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
       var vars = query.split("&");
       for (var i=0;i<vars.length;i++) {
               var pair = vars[i].split("=");
               if(pair[0] == variable){return pair[1];}
       }
       return(false);
}

Calling getQueryVariable("q") returns the number I need, but I've no idea how to put it to use creating the two other tabs searching for it.

Answer 1

javascript:var q=document.location.href.match(/q=(.*?)(?=&|$)/i);if(!q)alert('q not found');else {q=q[1];window.open('http://google.com/search?q='+q);window.open('http://bing.com/search?q='+q)}

Replace google.com and bing.com with your choices.

Add another window.open(...) for additional tabs.
