By using the knowledge we gained from previous articles on how to find mp3 files using the google search engine we will be able to easily find other files as well using almost the same search techniques.

The main ebook format is .pdf, but ebooks also are delivered as .chm, doc and even .txt format. That means we will have to include at least pdf, doc and chm to get good results in our searches. Ebooks are unfortunatly sometimes packed, that means you probably would like to include zip and rar as well to your search

(pdf|chm|doc|txt|zip|rar)

To get good results we need to exclude the following -inurl:htm -inurl:html

To search for directories that contain ebooks you use the following search string.

-inurl:htm -inurl:asp -inurl:html (“index of”|”last modified”|”parent of”) AND (”ebook”|”ebooks”|”book”|”books”) AND (pdf|chm|doc|txt|zip|rar) AND “Oct-2005″

You should really add another keyword, a title, author or publisher to get better results than that general search. Simply add the keyword at the end of your search using +”keyword”

Using google to find movies
October 13, 2005

Today I will describe how to use similar searches to find movies using google searches.

To achieve this we will borrow some of the operators from the Mp3 Search, namely -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:”index of”

You could also add “-inurl:php” to avoid those nasty index.php files as well.

Now we could simply add the known movie file extensions like mpg, avi, wmv to the search and look at the first results.

We probably want to find special movies, like tv commercials, movies with a special actor in it, adult movies aso. What you do is to simply add what you are looking for to the search. For example movies with Claudia Schiffer would be found with the following search

-inurl:htm -inurl:html -inurl:php intitle:”index of” (mpg|avi|wmv) “Claudia Schiffer”

The (mpg|avi|wmv) operator can also be written (mpg or avi or wmv).
