Internet in-depth search codes

[Thy Grand Voidinesss]

There used to be time [up to something like 6-7 years ago] when I could just put in Google a digital incantation like

Code: Select all

intitle:"index.of" (alac|ape|ogg|flac|mp2|mp3|mp4|mp+|mpc|mpp|tta|wav|wma|wv) Love.Me -asp -cf -htm -html -jsp -php -mid -mod -nfo -sap -txt -xm -xmi

and it would spit records for some hard to find places that would have file "Love Me" in one of the many audio formats that are usable to be - plus surely disregards many others common file formats irrelevant in the context of what I was looking for [a song]. But that had stopped working. And so I tried finding a newer Google spell but a charm code like

Code: Select all

filetype:mp3 OR filetype:wma Love.Me

also do not seem to work at all


So does anyone know how to bewitch Google [or DuckDuckGo or any other search engine] in these days?

I get 8 results on my end (with the intitle: search)?
Carole King, The Shirelles...
(google, & SeaMonkey browser)

Are you not seeing any, or expecting more?

I get just a handful of results even when using

Code: Select all

intitle:"index.of" (alac|ape|ogg|flac|mp2|mp3|mp4|mp+|mpc|mpp|tta|wav|wma|wv) Love -asp -cf -htm -html -jsp -php -mid -mod -nfo -sap -txt -xm -xmi

which is clearly wrong, as there must be thousands of just songs that have word Love in their title and thus in filenames holding them. So if I add also audiobooks title and multiple possible different files by all those fileformats and various FTP and ordinary sites then what I should be getting is 99 pages of results


This is just an explicit example to showcase how this once excellent method has virtually stopped working

Does anyone have anything to add to this topic?

[therube]

Might you get more results simply by being less specific?
Granted you'll then come across unwanted results too.

So instead of excluding:
-asp -cf -htm -html -jsp -php -mid -mod -nfo -sap -txt -xm -xmi

don't exclude anything.

And instead including:
(alac|ape|ogg|flac|mp2|mp3|mp4|mp+|mpc|mpp|tta|wav|wma|wv)

leave it more open ended, so maybe only include the mp4 in the search.
