Rapidshare.de and Megashare.com are the sites which hardly anyone will be unaware of. These sites allow user to upload files but lack the basic functionality of searching the whole database based on the description of the file.

Here is where google advance search technology comes to rescue :

Rapidshare has a huge database of files as a considerable number of users connected to it to upload music, pictures, movies and even larger files such as games or important documents. Although the owners encourage you to register and become a paying member, Rapidshare is also available for free so you can use it with only one restriction: you have a download limitation, meaning that you’re not able to download too many files for free. However, the website hosts an impressive number of files and it tends to become a real encyclopedia for music and movies. Similar is the case with magashare also. But since you dont have a search option hence you can just download the file unless you have the link to the file.

You must be knowing two very popular ways of searching google with these keywords :

1. site:www.example.com hello - retrieves all the result matching “hello” only from site example.com , hence limiting the search to a particular site.

2. +intitle:technology - retrieves all pages having “technology” in the web page title.

Let us combine these two advance search technology to search within the site rapidshare.de

So here is what you have to do .

1.http://www.google.com and type in the search box :

For music

+inurl:wma|mp3|ogg site:rapidshare.de

For videos

+inurl:avi|mpg|wmv site:rapidshare.de

For archives

+inurl:exe|rar|zip site:rapidshare.de

For any particular file

(ex-spiderman in this case )

+inurl:spiderman site:rapidshare.de

The same can be used for any other site. Remeber there is no space between “:” and search term.
