Live Search functionality

"For those of you who use some of the advanced query syntax in our search
engine such as link:, linkdomain: and inurl:, you may have noticed that
this functionality has been recently turned off. We have been seeing
broad use of these features by legitimate users but unfortunately also
what appears to be mass automated usage for data mining. So for now, we
have made the tough call to block all queries with these operators."
