[removed].search query as JSON

Question

Is there a better way to convert a URL\'s location.search as an object? Maybe just more efficient or trimmed down? I\'m using jQuery, but pure JS can work too.

If you are using modern browser this produce the same result as accepted answer:

function searchToObject(search) {
  return search.substring(1).split("&").reduce(function(result, value) {
    var parts = value.split('=');
    if (parts[0]) result[decodeURIComponent(parts[0])] = decodeURIComponent(parts[1]);
    return result;
  }, {})
}
