results for ["pearl harbor"]. You may use the boolean operator NOT instead of the
minus sign.
Live Search interprets the ampersand [&] as a space, so these searches are
virtually identical: [at&t], [at & t], ["at t"]. Also, while Live Search will not actually
search on a plus sign, the search engine will search for [c++], although it does not
recognize [c+].
Live Search Advanced Search
Thus far, while Live Search added more advanced search options, it still falls behind
Yahoo and Google in the number and type of advanced search options it offers.
Nonetheless, Live Search has several advanced search features that are accessible
by clicking on the "Advanced" link, which opens a small window that used to be
labeled "Search Builder" in MSN Search and is still called that on the Help pages.
The advanced search options may also be employed directly by using the correct
syntax in the query box. Live Search's web search help is accessible from a link on
the Live Search home page, but I prefer the old MSN Search, which is still available
and at this point still accurate.

Live Search now offers as many languages in which users may search as Yahoo
and Google. Using either the language preference settings or the advanced search
window, users can select from nearly 40 languages in which to search and see
results. There are three ways to specify a search language:
1. in the Advanced search window, select Language, then pull down and click on
a specific language.
2. type your search terms into the search box, and then add language: followed
immediately by the two-character language code. For example, to search only
for sites in French: [languageJr keyword]
3. a more permanent change would be to go to the Options page and change
your primary search language.
Live Search does not distinguish words using diacritical marks such as accents or
umlauts. Live Search finds terms matching those with and without the diacritic. The
term [facade] finds facade and facade, and vice versa.
Live Search offers several special search terms to restrict searches and make them
more effective.
