Using Google Search Operators to Find & Download Music PDF Print E-mail
Written by Matt McDougall

In China, downloading free music is easy. You can just go to Baidu or top100.cn and take your pick. But for those outside China finding free music sites to download music can be somewhat challenging, especially if someone does not know exactly what to look for. This post is not intend to promote illegal downloads of music- this is an educational piece on the use of Google search operators.

 

 

 The first thing to keep in mind is that the songs that are being downloaded should have a copyright on them, and should include the whole song in the music file. Often times free music sites will only allow someone to download the first few seconds of a song.  But if you want want to find and download songs illegally then you must try using search engines or torrents software. Here you can spend needless hours trying to find MP3's ... often you are pushed to links that promote casino's or porn.

In order to refine your keyword searches you should incorporate some search operators.

To find mp3 downloads

Try

intitle:index.of (mp3)



Or To be Specific you can try this query

 

intitle:index.of (mp3) "black eyed peas" insite:edu

 

This search is useful because you can narrow down the search specifically to University sites (they also tend to have less spam) that contain MP3's of the band, "Black Eyed Peas".

 

For reference here are some more operators and guidelines.


• Pick your keywords carefully & be specific
• Do NOT exceed 10 keywords
• Use Boolean modifiers
• Use advanced operators
• Google ignores some words:
{a, about, an, and, are, as, at, be, by, from, how, i, in, is, it,
of, on, or, that, the, this, to, we, what, when, where, which, with }
Google’s Boolean Modifiers
• AND is always implied. (Such as searching MP3 AND MP4 search both the MP3 & MP4.)
• OR: Escobar (Such as searching MP3 OR MP4 search either crack or patch.)
• “-” = NOT (Use to avoider some specific thing such as “MP3-MP4” give you the sites for only MP3 but not MP4)
• “+” = MUST(Force to search some specific thing like MP3+music.)
• “.” This wildcard for a single character (fire.fox will return documents containing the phrases fire fox, fireAfox, fire1fox, fire-fox etc.)

Use quotes for exact phrase matching:”Black eyed peas” etc.
Advanced Operators
• allintitle:
• allinurl:
• allintext:
• author:
• cache:
• define:
• info:
• intext:
• intitle:
• inurl:
• link:
• inanchor:
• insite:
• related:
• stocks:
• filetype:
• numrange 1973..2005
• site:
• phonebook:

Allintitle:It restricts results to documents whose title contains all the specified phrases.

Example: allintitle: sensitive filetype:doc
allintitle: restricted filetype :mail
allintitle: restricted filetype:doc site:gov

Allinurl: It restricts results to sites whose URL contains all the specified phrases.

Example: allinurl:winnt system32
allinurl:bbs data
allinurl:admin filetype:mdb

Allintext:It restricts results to documents containing the specified phrase in the text, but not in the title, link descriptions or URLs

 

Well I hope this set of search operators help in your searching. Remember, only download your music legally.
