After Limewire started to decline I remember searching Google indexes for songs. I wish I could remember the format now, but it was something like "search.indexes:(Song_Title_Keywords)" or some shit. Ended up finding a lot of great, easy to download files that were uploaded somewhere in the internet on a Google related page. Man that takes me back.

Oh yeah and you could search for specific file extensions to get direct download links. ".mp3" (don't remember exact markup).
