I know this tip has been known for ages, but I wanted not only to explain how to do it, but also how and why it works.

This little search query will return you servers with mp3 files :
`-inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:”index of” “Last modified” mp3`

Let’s analyse this query:

• -inurl:htm -inurl:html => will not return results with “htm” or “html” in the url (no html page)
• intitle:”index of” => will look for “index of” in the title tag of the page.
• “Last modified” => will look for that string in the resulting page, this is due to the fact that most webserver software will display this when displaying a directory listing
• mp3 => just because you are looking for mp3 files

So if you want to extend this query, you can replace mp3 by anything (let’s say pdf for example) and even add a title or group, or album in the search, for example by adding : “Placebo”.

For example if you want to download ebooks, you can replace mp3 by “pdf ebooks“.

Of course, downloading stuff you don’t own legally if strictly forbidden !
