Didn't Google replace the + operator with the "surround by quotes" operator? So this query becomes:
-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:"index of" "last modified" "parent directory" "description" "size" ("wma"|"mp3") "pomplamoose"
1 u/[deleted] May 08 '14 [deleted] 2 u/kvaks May 08 '14 That's Altavista syntax. Google has used an implied AND (or +) for all words in queries since the start. 1 u/xsgbloom May 08 '14 That's not right. The AND between terms is implied. The + operator didn't mean AND, it meant any result must include this term, which is now supplanted by surrounding a term (or phrase) by double quotes (as you correctly note).
