I wouldn't go that far at least I hope MS search does not go that far, they have little to gain. Linking has a place and Google pretty much defined a standard nomenclature. So yes, MS has copied the nomenclature. The other functions "InURL:, InAnchor:, InTitle:, InBody:" appear, to me at least, to be content oriented as opposed to link oriented and again all one can say is that MS copied Google's nomenclature. Google does get it right sometimes

If you want to see who is copying who do a search on "key west waterfront homes" in google and yahoo. Methinks yahoo is having an identity crisis. And in case you think I am picking on Google check the results on MSN. They get it wrong too, but at least I am able to follow MSN's logic. Now if only MSN and Yahoo will improve!
