hi all, i need help with using the google.com searching for certain files

Ah, I see you found the right place.

But I merely closed the thread so that others with the same question in the future may know where to follow to.



If you want to limit your google search to this forum specifically:

site:forums.ffshrine.org "Specific Title In Quotes"

Using quotes, you can limit down to exact phrases.

you can try throw in /f92 at the end to limit to the Film/Anime/Classical section:

site:http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92 "Specific Title" artist name

The only thing left to do, is hope that anyone who uploaded what you want has named it in an approriate manner.

If you have an archive (*.rar, *.zip, *.7z, *.001/etc) and need the password and are trying to look for that through google,
you'll be better checking your post history for threads you, hopefully, said thanks to everything you grabbed.
Remember, some people have to share, or choose to share, via PM's only
So the filenames won't be revealed through a google search.

So check your post history and hope you left a trail behind and start inquiring?

Yeah, that's how I do it too when searching for covers.
You just go to Google, enter the search field, and if I were looking for a World War Z custom cover for example, I'd type in this whole sentence:
site:forums.ffshrine.org official custom covers "world war z"

Same thing if you're looking for releases:
site:forums.ffshrine.org "world war z" "marco beltrami"

I almost never tend to include the whole composer's name, because some people post their releases as "M. Beltrami" or don't include the name at all. It throws off your search and you end up not finding what you're after, even though it's there... :)
