Utilizing search engines - Google

Know how to get relevant information from web

Lets get right into it.

We will use Google .


Directories.
if you know what to find exactly , in which category , go straight to directory.google. com

Google's Advance Search.
  • xxxx" / will look for the exact phrase. (case in-sensitive)
  • -x / will search for something excluding a certain term
  • filetype:xxx / searches for a particular file extention (exe, mp3, etc)
  • -filetype:xxx / excludes a particular file extention
  • allinurl:x / term in the url
  • allintext:x / terms in the text of the page
  • allintitle:x / terms in the html title of that page
  • allinanchor: x / terms in the links
  • use OR, ~X, Or anything which you can think of.
  • use $10..$30 , these 2 period will act as a numeric range, this will work with rate, weight, size, anything that has any numeric attribute.
  • Use Wild cards (Use when want to filter existing results)

NOW THE REAL STUFF
:
Want free music? Free games? Free software? Free movies? God bless FTP! Try this search:


intitle:"Index of music" "rolling stones" mp3
Assuming SOMEONE made an FTP and uploaded it, you'll find it. look how you can search FTP / directory browsing only sites.
  • ntitle:"Index of music" "kandisa" mp3
  • intitle:"Index of música" "kandisa" mp3
  • intitle:"Index of musica" "kandisa" mp3
  • intitle:"Index of music" "kandisa" *
To generalize the search use
intitle:"index of *" "kandisa" mp3 <-- BANG! (and thats without searching for spelling errors) Also try inurl:ftp
Same way, search for ebooks, games, movies, SW, anything that may be on an FTP site.
how did I find all these... thanks to Google : intitle:"index of" "google hacks" ebook
