~ hasfeed: shows the pages that offer feed links and, if you add a keyword

Encarta.
Encarta: Microsoft's encyclopedia and general reference source Encarta provides
answers to questions and facts about a topic. Users can type questions and
(sometimes) get direct answers to them by simply entering a question and clicking
on Search. Live Search does a much better job of correctly answering questions
than MSN Search did (unlike its predecessor, it correctly identified Chirac as the
