Original Post — Direct link

Title.

I'm planning on bookmarking many of my live searches to save RAM and to have fewer windows open 24/7. My doubt is if these links will last for the season or if I can lose them at any time.

They expire after 6 months of no one using them.

EDIT: Independent of the league, only the id after is important.

Because URLs have restrictions around their length that varies from browser to browser.
