    Well, technically speaking you would be using torrent-search-bar.com to search through all the listed torrent trackers, and not Google itself. If you actually want to use Google you would search for *what you want* filetype:torrent . Although I don’t recommend doing that, this would actually utilize Google’s search powers and should theoretically find torrents from any open tracker that is listed on Google.

    Who needs something like this though? linuxtracker.org got everything we really want!
