These operators allow you to do some really interesting things with macros.

A New Operator

We have one new, very exciting operator: LinkFromDomain. Using LinkFromDomain in your search includes all sites that are linked from a given domain. This complements LinkDomain (which includes all sites that link to a given domain) that was introduced back in june,05.

The visual below depicts “YourSite.com” and a set of related sites. The Blue nodes represent sites with reciprocal links, while the yellow nodes are sites you link to, and the green nodes sites that link to you.

For more insights into the use of linkFromDomain, check out the form-based demo over at my MSDN blog. This syntax can be mixed freely with our wide range of other advanced search operators.

Crafting Macros with Advanced Syntax

Macros allow you to bundle up syntax into easy to reference keywords. Using the advanced path in the macro creation wizard, you can experiment with different syntaxs and preview the results versus the normal live search results.

Compare the results for the query RAM on Live Search and on Live Search with my Windows Vista macro. The gallery page for this macro shows it’s definition. I use a key set of trusted sites to define a network of great sources for Vista information.
