Find Macros:

Using other people's macros may be a much more fruitful activity. Microsoft has
created a special page at its Gallery website to help users find already existing
macros to add to a Live search page. The macros are by type: top categories, top
downloads, and what's new, as well as new macros highlighted at the top of the
page. Users can add any macros to their Live Search homepage by clicking on the
"Add to Live.com" button. However, be careful. As of now the only way to
remove/delete a macro that you have added to Live.com in your browser is to delete
the browser's cookies (Microsoft, this needs to be fixed!). Also, if you try to add an
uncertified macro to Live.com, you will get this: ''This third-party application could
include code that is unsafe." While the danger from these simple macros is probably
very small to non-existent, this message does not exactly instill confidence, so
caveat quaesitor.

Given the newness of Live Macros, there are not very many to choose from yet;
however, I expect to see this list grow and there are already some useful macros,
such as the "reference" macros. Here is the reference macro added to the Live
Search main menu with the results from querying the reference macro only.
