@Soloyo_Setuverdad@w3Abhishek  
Searched, but all the results are simply directed to those sites containing " mega.nz " words.

@raj_parab  
I think it’s not possible to search files on Mega.  
It puts an emphasis on privacy, which makes it impossible for Google and others to index the files( not publicly-released/private) its users store on the service. Even Mega itself doesn’t really know what’s on its servers!

A decade back, there was this search engine for Mega, called “[mega-search.me](http://mega-search.me)” which had done this action.[But because it can’t just index the files on Mega’s servers, it’s a crowdsourced service that allows anyone to add links to their own files on Mega.]  
For further reference:

> **[Wait for it… select files from Mega now indexed on third-party site](https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/01/wait-for-it-select-files-from-mega-now-indexed-on-third-party-site/)**
>
> It was only a matter of time before users found Mega-search.me and started sharing files.

But, it was soon taken down!!  
From there, Mega is actually taking down almost anything that shows up via a search engine that was set up to search publicly-released/publicly indexed “Mega” links, even completely legitimate uploads.  
Check this **old** report:

> **[Odd: Mega Removing Any File It Can Find That Is Publicly Indexed — Even...](https://www.techdirt.com/2013/01/31/odd-mega-removing-any-file-it-can-find-that-is-publicly-indexed-even-completely-legitimate-uploads/)**

> There has been talk about how various anti-piracy operations have been “testing” Kim Dotcom’s Mega in terms of how it responds to takedown notices (so far, it’s apparently d…

Now-a-days as more people are uploading amazing content,It would be awesome for someone to make a similar search engine for Mega!  
But,if it’s popularity increases,it would be soon taken down!! 😭 😭 😭

Probably you need to use advanced search in Google to pull results on mega.nz server.  
Hopefully, this link - [Search Download Sites via Google](https://globaldownloadlinks.com/search-gdl-sources-via-google/) may help to construct advanced query in Google and get relevant results from mega.nz server.

@Hyperdemongod: Good post friend. I completely agree with you. My experience validates everything you say. **It is definitively not possible to search for files on Mega via Google, despite whatever people say here in their posts** Or through most any “magic” software. And yes, I have seen where any kind of system/website that is created to search mega gets taken down once it becomes popular.
