Maybe you know that you can use Google search not just to find words and pics, but you also can search for files. The most searched files are multimedia – music and video. Some people put those files on the websites and allow other users to download them. If files are in the open directories than we can very easy find them, excluding from our search results junk pages that do not contain needed files.
The secret is to give Google a special search string using operators that are hard to remeber if you do not use them every day. So here is a small but useful tool for creating that string for you: Google Multimedia Search. It wil add all needed words and you can start searching!
