~ Iinkdomain: Restricts results to pages that link to any page within the specified
domain. This is a broader search than the link: query. You can use this option to
determine how many links there are to a specific page from sites indexed by Live
Search. Can be used with or without additional keywords.
Examples of how to use linkdomain:
[linkdomain:jpl.nasa.gov] finds all pages containing links to any page at
jpl.nasa.gov, including echo.jpl.nasa.gov, voyager.jpl.nasa.gov, etc.
[Iinkdomain:jpl.nasa.gov cassini] finds all pages containing links to any page at
jpl.nasa.gov and that also include the term "cassini" at the linking website.
star [Iinkdomain:jpl.nasa.gov -site:jpl.nasa.gov] will find all pages containing links
to any page at jpl.nasa.gov from sites other than jpl.nasa.gov (this eliminates
internal links from the overall results).
~ linkfromdomain: Restricts results to pages that are linked from the specified
domain. This query only works with second-level domains, e.g., [domain.com].
You can use this option to determine how many links there are from a specific
page. Can be used with or without additional keywords.
Examples of how to use linkfromdomain:
[Iinkfromdomain:nasa.gov] finds all the pages the nasa.gov domain links to, i.e.,
links from nasa.gov to site x.
[Iinkfromdomain:nasa.gov standards] finds all pages the nasa.gov domain links to
that contain the term "standards" on their webpage, i.e., links from nasa.gov to
site x where site x contains the keyword "standards."
~ Results ranking: allows users to emphasize different factors to get a different
set of results for the same search.
1. Type your search terms into the search text box, and then click Advanced
Search.
2. Select Results ranking, and then move the equalizer slider(s) in the direction
you want.
Live Search Help explains Results ranking in this way:
"You can put emphasis on different factors to get a different set of results for the
same search. The sliders control:
• Updated recently: To modify your search to add emphasis to sites that
have been recently added to the search index, move the left slider up.
