By using the knowledge we gained from previous articles on how to find mp3 files using the google search engine we will be able to easily find other files as well using almost the same search techniques.
The main ebook format is .pdf, but ebooks also are delivered as .chm, doc and even .txt format. That means we will have to include at least pdf, doc and chm to get good results in our searches. Ebooks are unfortunatly sometimes packed, that means you probably would like to include zip and rar as well to your search
(pdf|chm|doc|txt|zip|rar)
To get good results we need to exclude the following -inurl:htm -inurl:html
To search for directories that contain ebooks you use the following search string.
-inurl:htm -inurl:asp -inurl:html (“index of�?|"last modified"|"parent of") AND ("ebook"|"ebooks"|"book"|"books") AND (pdf|chm|doc|txt|zip|rar) AND "Oct-2005"
You should really add another keyword, a title, author or publisher to get better results than that general search. Simply add the keyword at the end of your search using +”keyword”

1.4. The 10-Word Limit
Unless you’re fond of long, detailed queries, you might never have noticed that Google has a hard limit of 10 words—that’s keywords and special syntaxes combined—ignoring anything beyond. While this has no real effect on casual Google users, search hounds quickly find that this limit rather cramps their style.
