Live Search no longer has the Encarta option that used to exist on MSN Search. For
now, the easiest way I have found to invoke Encarta from Live Search and to take
advantage of the Encarta Free Pass is to limit your search to Encarta using the site:
syntax, e.g., [site:encarta.msn.com keyword]. This will give you two hours of free
Encarta research.
Measurement Conversions: Live Search uses Encarta Answers to convert
distance, weight, time, volume, and temperature. The conversions may be stated as
questions, e.g., [how many seconds in a year?], or as a simple phrase:
RSS Results: when added to the end of any search result, the &format=rss
parameter will provide users those search results via RSS. "When you subscribe to
this RSS feed from Live Search, you'll get the top ten search results for this query
delivered to your RSS Reader or personalized site. You can subscribe to any
number of RSS feeds of Live Search results and view them all in your RSS Reader
without re-running your search queries." To use this option, first search for your
terms, e.g., [tsunami relief]. On the results' page, add &format=rss to the end of the
uri in the address bar and hit return:
http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=tsunami&mkt=en­
