Finally! I can breathe a sigh of relief! Being a PC power user I tend to install a lot of software (which range from music composition stuff to PC maintenance)
and one of the biggest issues I face is finding files that are either required to run something (e.g. dll files, the latest .NET framework etc) or just something that I happen to be hunting down (e.g. The New Batman theme song)
Until now I’ve been using Google with a variety of “search hacks” and literally hundreds of keywords to get what I want. Sure I eventually found specific sites that catered to specific needs but these are few and far apart – I can easily say that searching (for me) is one of the most time consuming processes I undergo almost on a daily basis.
Well no more! An amazingly simple and powerful solution lay in my inbox today – a weblink to be exact: www.findthatfile.com. Simply put what Google is to information , Findthatfile is to files. No matter what you’re searching for , be it a system file, a bittorent file or a specific desktop wallpaper – it will hunt it down and give you a direct link to it! You can even add your own media to the site.
To quote their mission statement:
“findthatfile.com’s mission is to provide the most comprehensive file search on the Internet encompassing Web, FTP, Usenet and P2P resources including 43 file types and 200+ file extensions including over 90 file upload services like RapidShare. We search as deeply as possible to identify and serve the most relevant data possible including properties, meta data, extracts and more.”
It doesn’t get any clearer than that!
