Searching for Google Earth KML or KMZ files made simple

Looking for KMLs or KMz files? Ogle Earth has pointed out that it's quite simple. All you need to do is bang in the following query using Google - http://www.google.com/search?rls=en-us&q=filetype:kml+inurl:kml&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 or simply Search for "filetype:kml inurl:kml" - they note that more than 59,000 files are found and the number is growing every day. Looking for KMLs from NOAA.. simply search for "filetype:kml inurl:kml noaa"... nice! If I want KMLs about my town (Nanaimo) I simply search for filetype:kml inurl:kml nanaimo - the first hit is a quality one from the city - earth.nanaimo.ca/files/nanaimoMaster.kml
