The following is a paid review in my honest opinion. Being paid is good but it does not influence the review. If you’re interested in a review of your site or product, please visit my advertising page.
Have you guys ever heard of rapidshare or uploading.com? They are basically file sharing networks in which you can get programs, TV shows, movies, etc you’ve been looking for. And there’s an easy file search engine that can help you find those exact things.
I was actually introduced to General-Search.com recently and their website has actually helped me in more ways than one. Besides being able to search for potential programs, shows and other files that I’d be interested in downloading for free, they’ve actually helped with getting lots of traffic. But we’ll get to that in a minute.
How It Works
If you’re looking for a file sharing search to conveniently find files from uploading.com, rapidshare.com and a few other sites then it’s made pretty easy for you. All you have to do is type in a specific keyword and it’ll pull up everything related to it and tell you which website the file is hosted on, the name of the file as well as the size.
Of course, if you happen to draw a blank on files you’re looking for then they also have a “top searches” and “latest searches” section which shows you the main keywords people are searching for. And this is how they helped me get tons of traffic.
How They Helped Me Get Traffic
Since this is a search engine directed specifically for files people are looking for, that means no matter what, someone out there is searching for where to find these files. And since they have the “top searches” and “latest searches”, the keywords are given to you right there. You could easily write some posts related to those searches because we know people are looking for them and it can help increase your traffic drastically as well.
And it’s definitely an interesting mix of keywords because some of them seem to be in other languages or something. Also, a bunch of them seem to be abbreviations that I never even heard of but like I said, it should definitely help regardless.
Suggestions
There’s basically one main thing I would consider changing about the site and its adding a sort option. I tried searching for different files but there was no way to sort by name, size, etc. I like things to be easy as possible especially since I’m lazy. And since its a search engine of files I’m looking for, I like to narrow down my selection if at all possible.
Conclusion
So, regardless if you’re looking for the right file to download or where to get those files from or maybe because you’re interested in what people are looking for then you should definitely check out general-search.com. Personally, I wish I knew about these type of search engines for files previously because its a hassle trying to search for them in regular search engines!




This really does make it easy.
Thank you for this information.

Pretty easy, you hook up with a peer-to-peer network, download illegal copies of music that are in violation of copyright which may or may not contain viruses (free stuff is a great place for viruses,) then the feds come a-knockin’ and take your computer and sue you for copyright violation. Very easy to steal.
I have used file search engines before. This one is new for me.

does it limit downloads a day like for free users in rapidshare?
I think Google is still the best search engine for everything (even download sites). Add this without quotes to your firefox bookmarks toolbar (right-click bookmarks toolbar -> New Bookmark) to search specific file hosting sites (replace ‘mediafire.com’ with ‘rapidshare.com’ for instance):
“javascript:var%20searchterms%20=%20escape(prompt(‘Enter%20File%20to%20Search%20For’));var%20query%20=%20searchterms%20+%20′%20site:mediafire.com’;window.location=’http://www.google.com/search?q=’%20+%20query;”
