Everyone knows that google is the most powerfull search engine in the world. Maybe even the google folks dont know how powerfull it is.

The truth is that Google can be used to conduct a search for almost any file type, including Mp3s, PDFs, and videos.  This functionality has been available for a long time, but most users haven’t caught on to it.  So here’s a quick example of how to use Google to search for Mp3s.

The following is a Google search string for searching open web directories containing downloadable Nirvana music files.  Substitute the term Nirvana in the search string for any other band of your liking.  You can always bookmark the search result for future use.

-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(wma|mp3) “Nirvana”

With some very slight modifications the same search string can easily be used to search for ebooks in DOC and PDF format:

-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(pdf|doc) “george orwell 1984″

Or perhaps your looking for some specific video file:

-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(mpg|wmv) “towelie”

Or maybe a Commic Book

-inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:”index of” “Last modified” spider-man cbr
