Your search for music ends here... Google as a P2P tool.

Do you use P2P software’s to download music, movies, e-books etc? Do you know Google can be as effective as P2P software? Are you worried that you might download some virus onto your computer when you are downloading your favorite music from P2P like Limewire. Then read on for some cool search tricks that you can perform in Google for finding that music which suits your ear.

With Google you can find different types of file format be it MP3, MP4, AVI, WMV etc. Generally people search entering common keywords like “download englsh songs” or “ free mp3 songs”. However the search ends up in frustration with the results either being spam or asking the user to pay some amount or even register before downloading. I am going to tell you how to bypass all this.

1. Go to www.google.com
2. In the search box type the following
3. intitle:”index.of”(mp3) JLo -htm -html -asp
4. Hit Enter

So how does this work. Let’s look at the code
(“index.of) – Searches for directories/folders on the server where the file resides. It bypasses the normal web pages to find directories on the web server.

(mp3) – Specifies the file you are searching for. You can search for multiple file formats at once by seperating them using the piped symbol on the keyboard which stands for OR. (mp3 OR mp4 OR avi file) Use the symbol instead of OR.

JLo – This is the search term you would want to search. If you wanted to search for another artist you would put “Bryan Adams” however instead of that type Bryan.Adams. The period basically tells the search engine that if there are these two words in the file return the search result. So if on some site the file name is Bryan_Adams it will return the result in your search. So always instead of using spaces use period.

-htm -html -asp - This line of code tells the search engine to exclude all the WebPages having those extensions. This field is optional.

Now you might ask, will I have to enter that long string of code into the search engine. I can't remember that! There is a better way to store it in FireFox which I will include it here later on.
