Cool Search Macros at Live Search

Macros allow you to bundle up syntax into easy to reference keywords. Using the advanced path in the macro creation wizard, you can experiment with different syntax and preview the results versus the normal live search results.

You can "learn and play at the Gallery": "While we've got some plans to get macros in the hands of every user, in the meantime, you can try out, see how macros work, and share your own macros at Gallery.Live.com. In addition to lots of user crafted macros, the search team has seeded the gallery categories celebrities, sports, and cities in culture."

The improvements will empower users to use the link structure of the web.

Sounds interesting. But actually I did not understand any thing from the post. It is very helpful to me if some one will explain it to me.

Thanks in advance.

well i have a blurry understaning, but let me say, your article even took the blury understanding away :$

About Search Macros


You can create search macros (A search engine that can be tailored to any topic area.) that are tailored to any topic area. A home page is automatically created for your macro, making it easy to use, save as a favorite, and share with friends. For example, you can create a search macro for your favorite hobby or area of research, or one that searches your website or blog.


Try macros by other users

You can find macros created and shared by the Windows Live community on Windows Live Gallery. Go to the macro's home page and start searching. To see how a macro works, try one of these examples:

• Reference Sites Search Engine: This macro searches reference sites.
• MSDN Blogs Search Engine: This macro searches hundreds of Microsoft product team blogs.
• Video Games Search Engine: This macro searches video game information.
  

Create your own macro

You can create your own search macro on the Search Macros site. Use the side-by-side test page to see your macro's results. When you're satisfied with your macro, you can save it, customize its home page, and then start searching.


Share your macro with others

You can send the web address of any macro home page to a friend in an e-mail or an instant message. You can also share your macro with other Windows Live users on the Windows Live Gallery. The Gallery community can then rate your macros and give you feedback.


Note: To learn how to create, share, or modify a macro, see Create, share, and modify search macros.

This is actually better than I thought. So basically, the algorithm they are using in the adsense like programs is nearly the same, except that a macro like thing is temp made to search for stuff related to the page.. am i close?

Your macro will work with the live search...

You can add any thing you want, edit the search facility...

good information

Thanks for the compliment...
