Searching for links to certain document types

Microsoft Live search has an operator called "contains" that allows you to search for links to certain types of documents. This is *not* the same as the "filetype" operator in both Google and Live search which looks inside certain types of files.

As an example, you can use the "contains" operator to search for pages that link to MP3 files on Apple's site using a search like this:

site:www.apple.com contains:mp3
