   Hi,

   I'm wondering if it's at all possible to identify what plug-ins are installed on someone's blog? Actually I specifically want to search Google for blogs that have a particular extension installed.

   I'm thinking this is impossible, but thought I'd ask anyway.

   Thanks,

   GC

   Sometimes it's possible to find out what plugins someone is using if you navigate to the /wp-content/plugins folder of the wordpress installation.

   But specifically searching google for a plugin probably won't work unless the plugin outputs it's name or the blog author writes about the plugin.

   maybe this cant help you

   search in google

   -inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:"/wp-content/plugins" +"parent directory" "the plugin you're searching for"

   see ya!

   Thanks guys, both good answers. Kudogfx I think is the closest. By searching for the plugin filenames or directory names I am finding hundreds of sites with that plugin. Then by filtering the with things like:

   intitle:"index of"

   it cuts out the false hits.

   Cheers.
