I don't search for zips, but searching like this is pretty good for finding pdfs.
If you were looking for a zip and knew with good chance it's on the internet, why not?
- pphysch 3y agoPDF is special for a dozen reasons. Googling for "product.zip" makes no sense. Unless it's an actual website.
- recursive 3y agozip is special for a dozen other reasons. It makes sense to me if you're looking for a portable deployment without an installer.
- pphysch 3y agoCan you give an example of where you would want to ask the internet for opaque zip files to execute instead of using official downloads? E.g. why would you prefer "zoom.zip" over "install zoom" query?
- recursive 3y agoOfficial downloads are generally opaque files. These aren't different things. > why would you prefer "zoom.zip" over "install zoom" query? Why shouldn't I? This isn't a question about figuring out the optimal search terms. But anyway. The mainline installer probably... installs it. In this scenario, I want a portable deployment, maybe because I lack permissions on this machine.
