You're looking for something that doesn't exist - there is no magic rule to finding contracts which last a while, and they will always vary depending on what kind of work you do.
In some industries, you may be doing work for literally a few days here and there, and in others you could be working for years implementing something. So it's meaningless to look for some kind of magic formula for getting a long contract.
My shortest project to date was four weeks (brilliant work - come in, fix problems, go away please), my longest was six and a half years (same project, same role, the moment it finished I left).
Rather than look for the mantra for finding long contracts, maybe look at the kind of roles and technologies which typically take a long time to implement and go from there instead.
