Section 0 – KEY
———————————————————————-

You this are just some definitions I will use below.

[Directory String] can be any of the following :
1) “index of”
2) “last modified”
3) “parent of”

[file type] can be any of the following :
1) “mp3”
2) “shn”
3) “wma”

[mp3 name] can be any of the following :
1) the name of the album in quotes
2) the name of the artist in quotes
3) be daring and leave it blank and have lots of links
4) be creative!

[limitors] 1) -html -htm -php -asp -txt -pls

(inurl:) is optional and may be omitted and in fact most be omitted if not using a search tool other than google.

(intitle:) can be used in place of (inurl:) and has a similar effect again you must be using google.

(-filetype:txt) adding this to the end of your search string can filter some false positives.

(-playlist) adding this to the end of your search string can filter some false positives.

Section 1 – Directories
———————————————————————-

These are the most common way that mp3s are stored on the www, you should try these strings first.

String Format :
Type 1 : [Directory String] + (inurl:)[file type] + [mp3 name] Type 2 : [Directory String] + (intitle:)[file type] + [mp3 name]

Type 3 : [Directory String] + [file type] + [mp3 name] + [limitors]

Example Strings :
– intitle:index.of + mp3 + “grandaddy” -html -htm -php -asp -txt -pls
– “index of” + “mp3” + “radiohead” -html -htm -php
– “index of” + mp3 + “grandaddy”
– “index of” + inurl:mp3 + “beatles” -txt -pls
– “index of” + intitle:mp3 + beatles
– “last modified” + “shn” + “dylan”
– “last modified” + inurl:shn + “bob dylan”
– “parent of” + inurl:wma + “grandaddy”

Suggestions :
– Try (intitle:index.of + “mp3” + “band name” -htm -html -php -asp) first it is usually the most effective.

Another Little Trick:
– If you have been getting alot of results on google but the pages don’t seem to be there try adding dates and the “apache” string to your search i.e.

– intitle:index.of + mp3 + “grandaddy” -html -htm -php -asp apache feb-2005
– intitle:index.of + mp3 + “grandaddy” -html -htm -php -asp apache 2005

or if you just want a big list of mp3′ doing a search like this everymonth
– intitle:index.of + mp3 + -html -htm -php -asp apache mar

2nd Method:

Here is a second example of maximizing search results on Google:

1. At Google Search, type in one of the following two phrases (try the first one; if you’re not happy with the results, try the second one on your second search):

* “index of/mp3” -playlist -html -lyrics
* “index of/” mp3 -playlist -html -lyrics

2. If you’d like, add an artist’s name or song name to the end of the phrase, then click the Search Button.
3. Here are a few examples:

* “index of/mp3” -playlist -html -lyrics beatles
* “index of/mp3” -playlist -html -lyrics punk

This tip helps you find directories filled with mp3 files by finding Apache’s Index page:

1. At Google Search type in the following code:
2. +(“index of”) +(“/mp3″|”/mp3s”|”/music”) +(mp3|zip|rar) +apache
3. By editing this code, you can search for any type of media; oog, wav, pdf, etc.
4. Be sure to edit both the directory names as well as the file extensions if edited.

Finding mp3 and compressed files searching by title:

1. At Google Search type in the following code:
2. allinurl: +(mp3|rar|zip|tgz) TheTitle
3. Replace TheTitle with either a song title, artist name, or album.
4. Here are a few examples:
* allinurl: +(mp3|rar|zip|tgz) beatles
* allinurl: +(mp3|rar|zip|tgz) revolver
* allinurl: +(mp3|rar|zip|tgz) greatest hits

and other tips:

You’ve probably seen some sites that allow you to Google their site for a certain term. This is accomplished via the “site” advanced operator. The following syntax is used for the site operator:

site:site_to_search

For example, if we wanted to search www.projectfearless.com for the term “Nielsosky”, we would use the following:

Nielsosky site:projectfearless.com

or

example:

site:blabla.com
———————————————————-

The “inurl” advanced operator is used to search for a term within URL’s. For example, searching for “inurl:binaryuniverse” searched for all sites that have the term “binaryuniverse” in their URL. The “intitle” is used to search for a term in the title. Thus,
“intitle:binaryuniverse” finds all pages with “binaryuniverse” in their title.
————————————————————
Google keeps caches of pages. When the Google spider indexes a page, it stores a copy of it. Thus, the cache is a copy of what the page was like at an earlier date. To view the cache for a page, you can simply search for the page, and then click the “cache” link underneath.
However, there is a quicker way, that involves only typing in search terms, and not clicking. Simply type “cache:pageurl.com” to view the cache
