As you know Google.com is the most popular search engine in the world.
Here are some tips to helps you find eBooks with Google:
Find Apache's (default) Index page
Try this query:

+("index of") +("/ebooks"|"/book") +(chm|pdf|zip|rar) +apache

To Find a particular eBook file
Try this query:

allinurl: +(rar|chm|zip|pdf|tgz) TheTitle of the book

in the google search bar first paste the code and instead of "the title of the book" type the name of book u r lookin for, then google will give u direct links of similar , related or maybe exact ebooks

for eg if u r searching for book named java basics then use:

allinurl: +(rar|chm|zip|pdf|tgz) java basics

OR

+("java basics") +("/ebooks"|"/book") +(chm|pdf|zip|rar) +apache

This is of great help
allinurl: +(rar|chm|zip|pdf|tgz) subject_of_the_book

But I could see more appropriate results using
filetype:(rar|chm|zip|pdf|tgz) subject_of_the_book

If you look so far that is. The same can be used to obtain legal books too. So accn. to me, as long as this thread goes clean, it shouldnt be a worry. Hacking google is fun, using it for bad deeds is the user's responsibilty. :)

If someone does not have a problem downloading from Rapidshare/Megaupload etc. then using the following on Google can help you find lots of ebooks:

site:blogspot.com "Name of the book or author etc."

now there are lots of blogs on blogspot (blogger) for almost everything including ebooks, softwares and movies etc.

site:blogspot.com searches just the domain blogspot.com which means it searches all the blogs for the content which you want (in this case ebooks).

Also enclosing something in " " will search for that thing exactly
which means "google hacking" will search for pages which have the phrase google hacking together.Same applies for the name of the ebooks and author also.

I've found hundreds of books using this technique and I also use the index of method described earlier.

wow!! it's cool dude!! keep them coming.........
plz also chk this........

Suppose you want a certain song to a singer and you can not find it; by this trick you can find the song in the original directory of the original web site.

"index of/" "Top Gun" .mp3

suppose you want to search for the program "Norton" in the web site
www.download.com ; when you go to www.google.com and write the following code, you will be surprised that the "Google" search engine searches only in the site www.download.com. To do this search for:

norton site:www.download.com

Thanks for the help.

For this and lots of other stuff about advanced searching techniques using Google, you should read the Book Google Hacking for Penetration Testers by Johnny Long

As discussed in this thread and as described by me in my post, you can find it on Google itself.:p
Just type this in Google search bar
Code:
site:blogspot.com "Google Hacking for Penetration Testers" ebook pdf
or in Firefox try this url

Along with this you may add additional parameters like rapidshare etc.
Note that site:domain will search only in the domain specified
so if you want to search for something in thinkdigit.com, then just try
site:thinkdigit.com followed by the thing you wanna search for
