MSN Live Search turns off Link: operator

G-wiz Microsoft your killing me. Microsoft is like the Mike Tyson of search, you know he has the muscle to kick some major butt, and you want him to come back and kick butt, but fight after fight he just disappoints you. I understand the decision to turn off theses operators (Linkdomain:,Link:, and inurl:),but there’s are a bunch of legit users that rely a lot on the results these queries provide. I could be wrong, but would it have made more since to provide a secondary solution before turning off the primary? Please Microsoft brush the dirt from your shoulders and get back in the ring.
