But who has the time to memorize all the search modifiers like "-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:"index of" +"last modified" +"parent directory" +description +size +(.mp3|.wma|.ogg) ?" That's where Google Hacks comes in. This handy little app will let you search for dozens of file types, song lyrics, cached pages, fonts, and other little goodies hanging out on the web.
Just download and install Google Hacks for Mac, Linux, or Windows, fire it up and enter your search term and check the boxes next to the type of search you want to perform. Your results will show up in your default web browser.

Is there any earthly reason *not* to make this a web app, instead of running on your local machine?

It's not a new thing that you can find many secret stuff with google search. With smart query strings you can search almost anything. I've made a special website for it.
Have a look at SearchHacker
http://www.searchhacker.com
Or it's sister site to find unprotected live webcams.

Hi, I made this kind of application on my blog, only with javascript. You don't have to download anything.

Why a desktop app which does the same as searching pages like Tyoogle and better sites like Skreemr.com?
Maybe if it did something more clever with the results...
