Finding
PowerPoint Files on the Internet
-
Are you looking for
something in particular? Many people come to
this website in search of a particular PowerPoint presentation to view or
download, only to find that their search must go on. Here is a simple tip that
helps you find PowerPoint files faster and better.
-
Using the
Google search engine, type the word or phrase you
are searching for, and then limit your search results to show only PowerPoint
files by typing "filetype:ppt" after your search string. For example, you want
to find just PowerPoint presentations containing the exact phrase "corporate
strategy." Your search string should look like this:

This rule also holds
true for Microsoft Word documents, Adobe Acrobat files, and
other common file
types. Advanced features in Google also allow you to
narrow your search by
domain type (.com or .edu etc.) or within a specific site.
-
I check my website
statistics frequently. It shows that many visitors come here (often landing on
my weblog page) hoping to read or
download PowerPoint files about certain topics. While I do not archive
presentations for public download, I hope this tip helps you find what you are
looking for. Good luck!

On the eve of the
Google IPO, please take a moment to remember the search engine's
old days.
