To the reader: if this is your first exposure to finding things that aren't supposed to be exposed to the internet and you're finding it interesting enough to want to learn more, there's a tool commonly used among security practitioners called Shodan that enables a much more tunable search for exposed assets.
It's also a super basic intro to proper google-fu (which you can google to find others' takes on how to become somewhat effective at, erm, googling). Back when I used to blog on Microsoft-related topics, it was common to construct extremely narrow queries to find exposed confidential documents in Skydrive accounts which we could then sift through to find bloggable material.
e.g site:[skydrive domain] filetype:.pptx "Microsoft Confidential" etc.
