Targeted PDF Search Hack

[Barry]

Did you know you can quickly locate specific PDF files on our site with Google’s search tools? By using the search format below, you can look for all PDF documents related to specific components like “J201” directly from Google.

Example:
site:guitarpcb.com filetype:pdf "J201"

Paste in the url bar and hit enter exactly as seen above. Then take out J201 and try something else.

This will bring up any PDF documents on GuitarPCB.com that contain the keyword “J201,” making it easy to find relevant build documents, parts lists, and other helpful resources.

Whether you’re searching for detailed information on a specific component or just want to browse through technical PDFs, this method is a fast way to get right to the information you need. Give it a try!

I think this is very interesting in many different ways depending how you wish to use it.

I tried it using the browser “Duck Duck Go” and it brought up only 3 examples. When I used Google’s search engine… Wow! What a difference! Pretty cool ‘hack’ if you ask me! Thanks for sharing that Barry!!

Yes, different results with different search engines for sure.
