Answer 1

I know this is an old question. I have enhanced the function above to add or update query params. Still a pure JS solution only.

                      function addOrUpdateQueryParam(param, newval, search) {

                        var questionIndex = search.indexOf('?');

                        if (questionIndex < 0) {
                            search = search + '?';
                            search = search + param + '=' + newval;
                            return search;
                        }

                        var regex = new RegExp("([?;&])" + param + "[^&;]*[;&]?");
                        var query = search.replace(regex, "$1").replace(/&$/, '');

                        var indexOfEquals = query.indexOf('=');

                        return (indexOfEquals >= 0 ? query + '&' : query + '') + (newval ? param + '=' + newval : '');
                    }
