Effective search in Google

I taught a course about " Searching in Google" for my colleagues in Exir Pharmaceutical Company . one of managers asked me about effective search for files. in fact usually we look for files : an article in PDF, chm or doc type, a music or video type ( like avi, mp3, mp4,...) , a picture like jpg, gif,... file etc... . there is an easy way to access to files directly via google search engine. this is the pattern:
intitle:"index of?" Filetype FileName
for example :
intitle:"index of" MP3 pavarotti
intitle:"index of" JPG "nicole kidman"
Try it now!

Thank you for your very useful article. It's really great. I used to use "filetype:" tag, but your method is better, because it directs us to the directory page of websites.
