Search Rapidshare with Google
Posted on 2007 under General Stuff, Google, Search Engines, Tools |RapidShare is a German owned file hosting site that operates from Switzerland. Currently revenue is generated by the subscriptions of paying (Premium) users. It operates as both a pay and free service (with many limitations), allowing any user to upload files of up to 100 MB. The user is then supplied with a unique download URL, which locates the file and enables anyone with whom the uploader shares it to download the file.
Finding RapidShare files can be quite hard since there isn’t a search function available on the site with this feature. Luckily that won’t be a big problem since all stored files contain the RapidShare URL (example: http://rapidshare.com/Filename.rar).
A few days ago I wrote a post on how to search for media files using Google. The principal used is nearly the same, all you have to do is change a few parameters. So how do we use Google to find these files? Very simple.
Search all files on rapidshare:
Search for all media files on rapidshare:
+inurl:avi|mpg|wmv site:rapidshare.com
Search all music files:
+inurl:wma|mp3|ogg site:rapidshare.com
Use this string to search for “pavarotti” wma and mp3 files, from the site rapidshare.com:
+inurl:wma|mp3|ogg site:rapidshare.com pavarotti
It’s really that simple. If you know any more search strings that should be on this list please leave a comment.
