As we all know google search is one of the most used search engine in the world, this is because of its power and speed. A basic search can be expanded with commands alowing you to find almost anything you wont.
Lets start Simple. Like you!
Basic Commands in Google
The In Commands. These commands can be extended by adding all at the beging (ex: allinurl, allintitle, allintext) this allows you to have multiple keywords.
inurl : Will limit your search to the url specified.
intitle : Will limit your search to sites with the specified Keyword in the title.
intext : Will limit your search to to sites with the specified keyword in the text.
The others.
filetype : Will limit your search to specified file extension.
* : The magical Wild Card
- : Exclude a word from your search results
+ : Word should occur a lot in results
"" : Search Result must contain all words enclosed ("george bush is a cunt" 167 results, not bad)
. : Allows only one charcter between the keywords
OK we have some commands let see what we can do with them!
Lets limit our search to all sites that have an open directory

The problem with this type of search is that well, education servers are for some reason a VERY PUBLIC so a lot of the results will be examples, but some times you get a nice little nugget of information.

Lets look for Movies!
CODE
intitle:index.of "mpeg|avi|wmv|mov"
Common insecure webcam search's
CODE
inurl:indexFrame.shtml Axis
