How to find a specific type of file in Google

Whenever we use Google, most of the times we search for a specific type of file, example: PDF or PPT or DOC. But when we enter the query in Google's search box it gathers all types of the results, be it of any type. To find a specific type of file we need to modify our search technique. Coming steps will show you how to search for a specific file type (here I am showing it for PPT i.e. power point presentation file).

Step 1] Go to Google.

Step 2] Write "filetype:ppt" (without quotes) before your actual search query. So if I am searching for PPTs relating to Nanotechnology I will write "filetype:ppt nanotechnology"

You can see the result. You will get files of type that you have mentioned. Similarly you can search for any file type you want. You only need to change the file type in the query, as in our example: instead of PPT, put PDF or any other type that you want to search.

We can create a generalized query as: "filetype:<write file type here> <search term>"

(exclude "" and <>)

End of Engineering and Begining of Web Raga

Finally my exams are over and here is the end of College Days. I don't know whether I will go for further studies or not, but surely I will try to do things out of the box. We have started our work at e-Lightening Technologies and clients are just flowing to get their web presence. Definitely condition has been completely changed, two years back we used to convince each and every person coming to us why they should have a website for their business. But today people have agreed with this fact that if they want to be ahead of their competitors, they must have their online presence. As far as this website is concerned, I have many plans. Soon we are going to hire 3 more Tech Bloggers to write for us. We are also going to have a seperate office for this website. We are now open for Guest Blogging. If you want to write for this website, please contact us using the contact form available on contact us page . From 14th June 2012, we will be p...

Recovering Deleted Files, Pictures & Videos

So many times we accidently delete some important files, pictures or videos. Sometimes we loose files because of unexpected system failure ( ultimately causing system format). We can get our deleted files back using Recovery Softwares/Utilities. Even though a file was deleted there is a good chance that contents of the file are still around. When a file is deleted the contents of the file are not removed. Only a pointer to the file in the file system table is deleted. It is very important to immediately stop writing to the storage device that previously contained your files/pictures so that the old file contents are not overwritten. For example, don’t take any more pictures with your digital camera because new pictures will overwrite the deleted files. HOW TO RECOVER DELETED FILES???? Step1: You will need to use a utility to recover your lost files. I like to use a free ut...
