I've decided to keep up-to-date information about syntax for commercial search engine searches in one place http://cybermetrics.wlv.ac.uk/QueriesForWebometrics.htm but will post in this blog about changes.
The most important change in the last year was the Live Search withdrawal of all link search operators except for linkfromdomain: (thanks David for spotting this). Yahoo!/AltaVista/AllTheWeb is the only remaining search engine family with significant link search capabilities - Google has only a weak version of the link: search and Live Search has nothing.
