Finding the necessary information on the Internet can sometimes take much longer than we would like. To simplify this unpleasant and not always successful procedure, it is necessary to follow the minimum set of rules that will allow you to find what you need in a short time and with the least effort.
It is necessary
- File hosting list
- Search resource
Instructions
Step 1
Open the file hosting service and find the search bar on the page. As a rule, such resources place this column in the most conspicuous place so that the user can easily start working with the file hosting service. Most often it is a line with a pop-up selection column and a "Search" button.
Step 2
Enter the name of the file you are looking for in the search bar. Even if you cannot remember the exact name, the search can be performed on a fragment of the name. However, in this case, you need to make sure that you remember this fragment correctly, as there can be a lot of search results, which will take you more time than you would like. It is recommended to use fragments of the name of at least four letters. It is recommended to make a request in the form of a simple word with a single space. The best option would be the root of the word without case endings and prefixes.
Step 3
Start searching for a file by category if the search by name did not give the required results. Unfortunately, not all file-sharing networks have a rubricator. This is due to the fact that users create the content of the file sharing service themselves, but they do not always find it difficult to select the appropriate category for their files.
Step 4
Use a search engine if the previous two steps did not bring the desired results. To do this, you need to form a request, which mentioned the file name and the file hosting address. Sometimes search engine systems work much better than the internal service of the file sharing service itself.
Step 5
Set the top on the forum or guestbook of the file-sharing resource in the event that you still could not find anything. As a rule, moderators carefully monitor the requests and wishes of users. As a last resort, the answer can be given by other network participants who know about the location of this file. Also, it cannot be ruled out that one of the interlocutors has the desired file, which means he can share it directly.
