EbookBrowse: Search Engine for Docs and Data
April 21, 2011
EbookBrowse is a free engine that specifically searches for PDF, DOC, XLS, and other data files. Here’s how they describe their site:
Our crawlers harvested a huge database PDF&DOC files through different open Internet resources such as blogs, forums, BBS and others. This database is regularly checked for file validity so now you can search within more than three million of live PDF&DOC files. Today we have 30000 000 document files in our search database and approximately 50 000 files are added daily.
I threw a few searches at the engine, with subjects involving business, hobbies, and politics. It works as advertised, though as with any search engine, the more specific you are (to a point) the better your results.
It helps that you can select the types of files you’re looking for, and no selection returns everything rather than nothing. The results are presented in a window from which you can both download the file and share your findings via email and social networks (click the + sign for many more of these than you see in the usual list.)
Oh, and it’s nice and clean. No advertising! I recommend you check it out.
