To start snooping around open directories, point your browser to Google. In the search field, type “index of/” followed by whatever you want to look for. For example, let’s say I want to find open directories that contain files related to unidentified flying objects. To start searching, I’d head to Google and type “index of/ ufos.”

Google has recently updated the Google Directory listings, which use the Netscape Open Directory Project (DMOZ) as their base of information. When searching on Google, sites that are indexed in the Google Directory include the directory placement under their Google Search listing.
