Danny Sullivan over at SEW has pointed to MSN's enabling of some new link and search commands. These include (although he couldn't get all of these to work):

  • inanchor
  • filetype
  • inurl
  • intitle
  • linkdomain
  • contains

This should be a fortuitous turn for SEOs and searchers worldwide. MSN also likes to be scraped, though preferrably via their RSS results and their results numbers have finally settled down, making tool creation with MSN a likely possibility for the near future.
