Don't hesitate to mail suggestions, useful engines or to report bugs. Update/Change log (chronological but without dates) - Solved parsing problem (R & B now can be typed) - Added different colors (web machines, multimedia machines, no spam sites) - Added audiofind and mp3spy - Changed Singingfish url a little bit - Removed Altavista images (because its the same as Alltheweb) - Changed some of the music queries to avoid spam - Chosen to use www2.google.com (I think this one works the best in general..) - Removed audiofind.ru - Added Cobion Fotos - Removed the anti spam queries because AV and alltheweb have changed - Changed the Singingfish queries - Added the option Exact search/All words - Re-added the OR tag in Singingfish, this seems to work and overwrites Singingfish's "all words" - Removed Grammy.ru, Grammy is down - Added eSpew (thanks Veblin) - Removed mp3psy.ru, it became commercial (there is nothing wrong with that but we search for public files) - Using www.google.com again (www2 etc. links to www and other IP addresses seem to give no difference) - Fixed Launch url search syntax, they'd changed it. - Google has now a limit of 32 words! The music and video queries have been renewed - Removed alltheweb and used only the altavista interface for search results and changed the query - Removed alltheweb video because it's the same as altavista video (for audio we're not sure) - Added Webshots and Pbase for image searching - Added index find method for the major search engines - Removed fotos.de - Changed the Singingfish queries to the easy way because that's already a great engine - Added google ads (in testing). The reason is that exploseek only costs money for 3 years and never had any ads. - It is now possible to copy the query and post it elsewhere, for example: http://www.exploseek.com/search.php?s=music&a=elvis+presley&exact=yes - Added a message board to receive some input. - Added Robert's suggestion to exclude "torrent" for video search (where possible and also excluded "links" for google). If there is a video and a torrent on the site it will now not be found but it's always a compromis, with filtering the things that we don't want there is always a risk filtering the things we want. - Removed Espew.com, it seems to be down. It was a good one. - Links to the search engines are now direct, no javascript, this will speed up it a little bit. - Added fotopic and flickr for photos. - Added a small sample code for users who want to add a search box. - Added smugmug and textamerica (camera phone pictures) for picture search. - Removed alltheweb/altavista and replaced it by yahoo for the open directory queries. - Added a customized yahoo audio search, probably altavista/alltheweb audio can also be removed, will be looked at. - Also replaced alltheweb image find by yahoo image find, because that is a primary seeker and much better. - Made a correction on singingfish - Disabled the inktomi thing, it was crap, wasn't it ? - Added Youtube to the video search list, found it on a forum, why did I only find it ? - Corrected the fotopic query - Closed the forum because of general disinterest, this is a search tool and people want to click on the search button.. - Modified the lay-out a little bit. - Added Exalead, for video/audio search and also to find open indexes. - Added Fotki, Photobucket and Tinypic for photo search. - Added Daily Motion. - Added MS Live (beta) both for open index search and for their image tool - Added the YoutubeGetter - Added Sogou for mp3 finding - Retired the YoutubeGetter and published FlvGetter (still beta but who cares) - Espew is back! - Added mp3realm, thanks to Josh! - Added Ask Images, it seems to be independent. - Modified/corrected some queries. - Merged MSN with Live - Removed exalead's video/audio, they removed it, but added image search. - Singingfish removed.. end of story.. - Added google news image search. - Added two great working mp3 engines with a low spam rate. - Added two image search engines: Bebo and Picasaweb History This tool started as a script implementation of a simple method to find indexes on the net ;-). Thanks to Edfred for the idea. However we will always try to improve the queries and add as much useful content as possible. Is Exploseek a Metacrawler ? No. Exploseek is no metacrawler. It does not send a query to external databases to collect and present the results on its own page, it simply links to individual search engines one by one and opens them explicitly in an external browser window. The external links, of course, are independent of this site. Why should I use Exploseek ? Exploseek is a nice simple tool to find multimedia on the net. It is possible to use the major search engines to type your queries, but if you use this tool it will be much easier as some of you have probably seen already. We always try to improve the queries, if possible. If you perform a query on a search engine and got no (good) results you want to try it on other search engines as well, with exploseek.com you don't forgot that. We also try to avoid to add duplicate search engines (same database other lay-out). Further you don't need to install a peer-to-peer program with possible spyware and other security issues. What is the best way to find media ? How do I use it ? Examples: Select the 'Smart Exact' button to find a specific song or artist, e.g. type James Brown or I Feel Good Select the 'All Words' button to find a combination of artist/song or if you have forgotten a title, e.g James Brown Good Feel Do not put a search string inside quotations! e.g. do not search for "James Brown" or 'James Brown' Further do not type things like index of or parent directory Why are there a lot of non-working or passworded indexes? There are millions of people on the internet that use search engines, if a site is available and not protected it will be found at a time, with this tool you will find it earlier than other people. Although most webmasters will protect or remove their indexes there is always a chance that something is available... but what we find is a given horse! I know better search tricks and/or other great engines, could it be added to Exploseek ? Yes, we even encourage. Now enjoy exploseek !
