Google fun with searching "index of" - DeeBye - 05-29-2005

I guess you could call this a Google "hack", even though it's just using a search string to browse publicly viewable/downloadable folders. People save all kinds of crazy crap on their webhosts.

Code:
-inurl:html intitle:"index of"

If you want to look for specific filetypes or such, just add the search strings to the end.

eg. If I wanted to look for .mp3 files about the Simpsons, I would edit the search string to read
Code:
-inurl:html intitle:"index of" mp3 "simpsons"

Can you explain the syntax?
