If you happened see any of the site review clinics at pubcon you might have wondered how do people look things up so quickly. Lots of people use bookmarklets for quick and dirty type searches. For example say you wanted to to know who a site links to using the new MSN [linkfromdomain] command. So go to your bookmark toolbar and create a new bookmark in the location field enter this value:
javascript:location.href='http:/'+'/search.live.com/results.aspx?q=linkfromdomain%3A'+document.domain.replace('www.','');
To use it visit any domain and click on the bookmarklet it should redirect you to that MSN with a linkforward search executed for that domain.

Is it just me or is that linkfromdomain operator really inaccurate?

Hey Gray,
The full bookmarklet code is being cutoff when I view your page (fyi I’m using FF on Windows). Here’s the full code if others are having issues seeing it above:
javascript:location.href=’http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=linkfromdomain%3A’+document.domain.replace(’www.’,”);
