In general a google query that contains an artist and or album name will often give good results. With a wildcard it will even be better because the year of release might be added between it. I found out that mediafire often gives a great download and added a useful query to exploseek. It is better always use quotes between this IMHO. Play around with it. An example is<br /><br />"Elvis_Presley*.zip" OR "ElvisPresley*.zip" OR "Elvis Presley*.zip" OR "Elvis_Presley*.rar" OR "ElvisPresley*.rar" OR "Elvis Presley*.rar"<br /><br />and if you want to limit it to a certain site add something like site:mediafire.com which is now there already.<br /><br />Remember google is still the best option to find media on the internet (if it is indexed in one way or another) The drawback is that we often have to go through tons of spam sites.Exploseekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11873168094490789124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942595914847812096.post-67059940040340697762011-08-01T17:05:00.000+02:002011-08-01T17:06:06.961+02:00Google images now has the date optionI tested this for a while but it never worked. I was amazed to see that they finally released this now. To filter images for date it is a matter of adding<br /><br />&tbs=qdr:m (for a month)<br />&tbs=qdr:w (for a week)<br />&tbs=qdr:d (for a day)<br /><br />to the URL. The structure seems to be the same one as for the normal search results.Exploseekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11873168094490789124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942595914847812096.post-28956361737881540902011-03-18T16:48:00.000+01:002011-03-18T16:48:24.915+01:00Some small updatesTime really flies...<br /><br />music:<br />no change<br /><br />vids:<br />Both google videos and youtube search results are now sorted by upload date, which is very useful if we regularly check our favourite artists. Also rare material will be easier found in that way (or you will find it before it is removed). The other search engines are removed. Google video includes the most important ones, including youtube of course but that one is worth posting directly also. <br /><br />images:<br />MS Live images changed to Bing images and corrected the query.<br />Flickr images sorted by upload date. Fotopic removed, tinypic removed, textamerica removed, bebo removed and mobypicture added.Exploseekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11873168094490789124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942595914847812096.post-42016550636465948652010-07-11T01:49:00.000+02:002010-07-11T01:54:58.977+02:00It looks like http://www.google.com/search?output=ie&q= bites the dust<a href="http://www.google.com/search?output=ie&q=test">http://www.google.com/search?output=ie&q=test</a><br /><br />I'm sure there must be another one, if anyone knows one let it know.Exploseekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11873168094490789124noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942595914847812096.post-53437749260946252062010-06-29T23:47:00.000+02:002010-06-29T23:53:15.199+02:00A link to STHNot really search related... although...

With that query you will, of course, also find links to a lot of rapidshare or megaupload search engines that you can check individually. I have no idea if it is useful to add those and I'm not really into them.Exploseekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11873168094490789124noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942595914847812096.post-4204421225662031752010-05-27T14:43:00.000+02:002010-05-27T14:45:01.750+02:00Found a nice Reverse Image Search tool<a href="http://www.tineye.com/">http://www.tineye.com/</a><br /><br />You can upload a photo or point to a URL and it attemps to find similar images.Exploseekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11873168094490789124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942595914847812096.post-42484507786056090072010-05-21T21:39:00.000+02:002010-05-21T21:48:48.346+02:00pdf / magazine search and IssuuGoogle's pdf option is very useful to find pdf files/magazines, I created a query in the compact format.<br /><br />Also Issuu (for publishing) is very nice, although not all publishers also have PDFs on their site, I've put it under the pdf category.Exploseekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11873168094490789124noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942595914847812096.post-57777727027825137792010-05-13T19:54:00.000+02:002010-05-13T19:55:20.899+02:00http://www.google.com/ie alternativeIt seems that it is still possible to use the nice interface if you replace<br /><br /><a href="http://www.google.com/ie?q=">http://www.google.com/ie?q=</a><br /><br />by<br /><br /><a href="http://www.google.com/search?output=ie&q=">http://www.google.com/search?output=ie&q=</a><br /><br />Fixed for now.Exploseekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11873168094490789124noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942595914847812096.post-87031352987389460142010-04-09T11:03:00.000+02:002010-04-09T11:06:10.178+02:00A movie queryThis is what sometimes work to find movies.

It seems that Bing works also with adding simple - signs in the query. This should also work for yahoo but it still lists some of the results, even if you use advanced search and choose the option to exclude it from the url.<br /><br />For example, if you exclude html and htmin the urls, like the following query<br /><br /><a href="http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22parent+directory%22+AND+%28%22Elvis+Presley%22+OR+%22ElvisPresley%22+%29+AND+%28mp3+OR+wma+OR+ogg%29+-inurl%3Ahtml+-inurl%3Ahtm">http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22parent+directory%22+AND+%28%22Elvis+Presley%22+OR+%22ElvisPresley%22+%29+AND+%28mp3+OR+wma+OR+ogg%29+-inurl%3Ahtml+-inurl%3Ahtm</a><br /><br />It still gives results containing htm(l) in the url.<br /><br />Other changes:<br /><br />- Exalead query corrected<br />- Multimedia mp3 search engines temporarily disabled<br /><br />Don't forgot that it is all possible to mail or reply about good search engines/tools or queries!Exploseekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11873168094490789124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942595914847812096.post-71457944701109660072010-03-16T16:38:00.000+01:002010-03-16T16:45:54.153+01:00It seems harder to find open (apache) indexes than beforeThe old "index of" or "parent directory" trick is now used by a lot of websites to get traffic, even if you add <strong>-html -htm -shtml -phtml -php -buy -aspx -jsp -asp -cgi -pdf -ftp</strong>, what I just tested for the google music query (first one). A lot of sites are even no open indexes. Some of them are fake open indexes or some of them are password protected or redirect to spam links.<br />I think it is not physically possible to exclude the spam sites because the query becomes to large. The only way to check this is to process the url itself which should then be done on the server or with a client sided script. However there is still a chance to find material in this simple way.Exploseekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11873168094490789124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942595914847812096.post-91054805205039808462010-03-12T21:50:00.000+01:002010-03-12T21:57:40.819+01:001st messageHello reader. From this moment I will keep a blog of every change I make to exploseek and also all interesting search things that are worth mentioning. I haven't changed the site for a while and some of the queries are old and/or have expired. I also checked the server logs recently and the visitors have dropped a lot, which is a bad thing. This blog will hopefully force me to maintain the tool. Stay tunedExploseekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11873168094490789124noreply@blogger.com0
