Sometimes when we try to find some file using Google, we end up with an article of material which just discuss about that file but doesn’t provide any download link for that. Most of the time you will waste your time in just reading those articles and hoping to find some link there. But what else can we do?

Actually, there is a trick which will help you. It works as follows-

  • Open a browser. Copy-Paste following Javascript in your address bar according to what you are intended to search.
  • A pop-up will appear. Enter the text there limiting each word with dot(.)

The JavaScript code

For Audio files

javascript:var x=prompt("Search song with google:\n\nNote: Limit each word with a dot\nExample: Heal.The.World", "");window.location='http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q;='+encodeURIComponent('intitle:"index.of" (mp4|mp3|avi) ')+x+encodeURIComponent(' -asp -htm -html -cf -jsp -php')+'&btnG;=Google+Search';

Books, white papers and other pdf materials

javascript:Qr='';if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('type the author or book title:',''))};if(Qr)location.href='http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q;=%22parent+directory%22+%22'+escape(Qr)+'%22+pdf+OR+rar+OR+zip+OR+lit+OR+djvu+OR+pdb+-html+-htm#=100&hl;=en&lr;=&ie;=UTF-8&oe;=UTF-8&safe;=active&sa;=N'

Application setups

javascript:Qr='';if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('Enter Application Name:',''))};if(Qr)location.href='http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q;=%22parent+directory%22+%22'+escape(Qr)+'%22+exe+OR+rar+OR+zip+-html+-htm#=100&hl;=en&lr;=&ie;=UTF-8&oe;=UTF-8&safe;=active&sa;=N'

Images

javascript:Qr='';if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('Enter Image Name:',''))};if(Qr)location.href='http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q;=%22parent+directory%22+%22'+escape(Qr)+'%22+jpg+OR+png+OR+bmp+-html+-htm#=100&hl;=en&lr;=&ie;=UTF-8&oe;=UTF-8&safe;=active&sa;=N'

[Though Google Search for images works great this trick can be used for searching specific extensions]
The trick works in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. You should test it before using it with any other browser.
