How does Google append search parameters to url without reloading page?
Does anyone know how they do it? I know about the HASH trick and the webkit pushState function. I don't think they are using either.
Their solution is cross browser compatible, do they use a combination of different methods for each browser?

Google uses the hash-trick. Notice that all the parameters are after
http://www.google.com/#
Edit: If you entered the page with other parameters, the #
may be further out in the link.

You can add parameters after the hash sign (#
) without reloading the page using the window.location.hash
property.
