Parameters Checker

The Parameters Checker validates lists of URL query-parameter names by checking how many search results they produce. It helps remove weak or overly broad inputs before those parameters are used to generate dorks.

For a URL such as https://example.com/product?id=42, the parameter name is id. The checker evaluates the name, not the value 42.

What It Does

• Tests parameter names against search results.
• Counts the results associated with each candidate.
• Applies minimum and maximum result thresholds.
• Separates useful candidates from invalid or out-of-range entries.

What You Can Use It For

• Cleaning a parameter list before generating search queries.
• Comparing common names such as id, page, or category with niche-specific names.
• Removing parameters that return too few results to be useful.
• Excluding names that are so broad they create excessive noise.

Typical Input and Output

Input: a list of parameter names and minimum/maximum result limits.

Output: validated and rejected parameter lists with result counts.

When to Choose It

Use Parameters Checker when your question is, “Which query keys are useful for discovery?” Use the Dorks Checker when you already have complete search queries. You can extract candidate parameter names from existing URLs with URL Utilities.

See Task Settings for threshold settings.
