The process to search free file hosts for files is always the same and not dependent on the file host that you would like to search. While it is still possible to fire up Google and enter the search terms and site url manually it is far more convenient to automate the process.
This can be done with a bookmarklet called Free File Host Search (FFHS) available for Firefox and Internet Explorer. A bookmarklet is a piece of code that can be saved as a bookmark and can be used to interact with the user. In this case the bookmarklet displays a form when clicked in which the user can enter the search term he is looking for.
FFHS is simultaneously searching 22 file hosts for that file displaying all results in a normal Google result window. Included are the most popular file hosts such as Rapidshare, Megaupload and Mediafire.
You add the bookmarklet to your browser by simply dragging and dropping it into the bookmarks toolbar or right-clicking it and selecting to bookmark it. It is also possible to test it by left-clicking it on the authors page.
