In many cases it's a "6 of one..." type of thing, but if you run into trouble using inurl, you might want to switch to insite which is even more specific.
So a lot of times I just look for blog site names in the url. Those kinds of searches are still fairly reliable.
This is why using
site instead of
inurl would be preferred in these kinds of searches, for the ultra-prick spammers who put fake rapidshare/blogspot names in the URL as well. Instead of:
Code: Select all
"The Speed Of Cattle" "archers of loaf" inurl:blogspot
use
Code: Select all
"The Speed Of Cattle" "archers of loaf" site:blogspot.com
Obviously in this example we found what we needed right away, but the point remains. I'm not sure how rampant the use of fake URL names is, but if you want to specifically search one site,
site will yield better results than
inurl in most cases.
PS - Great post about the google searching tips, incredibly useful...
Yeah good point. The
site delimiter is a great search tool. Site will return all webpages from the given domain and any of its subnets (which in most blog sites are usually named after the blog titles, ie:
rare-n-vintage-2.blogspot.com,
pretentiousblogtitle.blogspot.com,
musicslut.blogspot.com, etc.)
Another great Google feature is the
filetype: delimiter. That one will return only links to the specified file type. Searching for pdf (Adobe Acrobat) files is a good way to find ebooks, articles or other documentation
Code: Select all
"learn to play guitar" filetype:pdf
BTW, thanks for the compliment. Entire books have been written about data mining using Google. My favorite is this O'Reilly title:

This is all dandy, but why not just use something like
ShareMiner?
I advise against
sharing minors.
I'm looking at you Col. Panic.

Hmmm that seems to work nicely. Soon as I get home, that's going into my Favorites.
But I still think that Googling the thing you're looking for + the blogs and names of upload sites yields the best results.
Blogs usually have what you're looking for, in terms of music anyway, but if you search for the upload sites names (like "Rapidshare", "Megaupload, "Sendspace", etc.) will also yield results from message board forums, MySpace pages and other Web sites.

Um... peddie ring? WTF?
Get that book. The stuff I showed you is just the tip of the Google iceberg.
Try searching for movie showtimes in your area:
Google also has a free 411 number called "Goog 411", that you can call from any phone to get the name, address and location of businesses or government agencies. And the best part is, they'll even
connect the call for
FREE.
Try it out:
Call 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411)
Say the name of your city (or type a zip code) and then say the name or the type of the business you're looking for. Google 411 will then tell you about businesses in your area and connect you to the business number of your choice for free.

Considering the amount of information they are compiling about the private sector, Google is actually kinda scary. I wonder if it's an intelligence-gathering front for the NSA or something...

It looks to me like one of the Scandinavian languages.
Try using
InterTran to translate it from Danish, Swedish or Norwegian into English.
