Search a growing public file index for documents, archives, software packages, media files, and source pages discovered by automated crawlers.
Search tips
Be specific. Use terms from the filename or the page
that hosts the file. Good: Adobe Photoshop 2024 installer
3+ characters per word. Words shorter than 3 letters
are ignored. Avoid queries like 4K or AI alone.
We match page descriptions, not file contents. Your query must match text websites write about the file — not what's inside it.
Time qualifiers work. Add latest, 2024, or recent for newer results. Use archive for older ones.

What is AutoFileSearch?
AutoFileSearch is an automated public file index. Our crawlers continuously scan the open web and catalog links to publicly available files — PDFs, documents, videos, software, and more. We do not host or store any files. Every link in our index points to its original third-party source.
Is AutoFileSearch legal?
Yes. AutoFileSearch operates as a search engine and index of publicly accessible content, similar to how Google or Bing index web pages. We only index files that are publicly accessible without authentication. We have a full DMCA removal process in place for rights holders who wish to remove listings.
Do you host or store files?
No. AutoFileSearch does not host, store, upload, or redistribute any files. We only index direct links to files hosted on third-party servers. When you access a file, you are downloading it directly from its original source.
What types of files are in the index?
Our index covers a wide range of publicly available file types including PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, ZIP archives, ISO images, MP3 audio, MP4 video, software packages (EXE, DMG, APK), e-books, and more. All files are indexed from sources that made them publicly accessible.
How do I request removal of a file listing?
If you are a rights holder and believe a file listing infringes your copyright, you can submit a DMCA removal request. We process valid notices promptly. Note that removing a listing from our index does not remove the file from its original source server.
Do I need a subscription to search?
The public file library can be browsed freely. A subscription unlocks background scanning (our automated crawlers search for files matching your queries around the clock), access to the full library, and direct download links. See our pricing page for plan details.
