How to search RapidShare files

Posted on August 19, 2009 at 5:36 am

Rapidshare is one of the most file hosting services on the Net today.  If there is a YouTube for online video, Rapidshare is for any downloadable file! The problem with Rapidshare is that it won’t allow you to search for files – unless you are a paid subscriber.

Well we don’t want you to pay for anything that you can download from P2P anyway so we will show you a Google search tip on how to search for files inside Rapidshare.

First familiarize yourself with the Google URL:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=.MP3%+site3Arapidshare.de&btnG=Search

The URL consists of several parameters like hl which from the look of it is the language of the page or browser.  Leave it to en to have English results.  I think you can change this to other language codes but let’s stick to en for now.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=.MP3%+site3Arapidshare.de&btnG=Search

The next parameter is the lr and as_qdr parameters. These are language restrict (LR) and date restriction parameters.  I leave lr blank to allow all languages and as_qdr=all to show all dates.

The q parameter contains the search query term so put in “MP3” for example if you want to see all MP3 files.  You can also put .MPG,.AVI  if you prefer to search keywords with those types of file extensions – great for searching  movie files!

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=.MP3%3Arapidshare.de&btnG=Search

That’s it! See it in action in your web browser:

Here is the shortcut for movies:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=+.Avi+OR+.mpg+OR+.mpeg+site
%3Arapidshare.de&btnG=Search

    Great post! I’m with Bob though, I prefer simple and quick sites that do the search for me like rapidbull.com.
