Karen Blakeman reported that you can now search use link command searches at Live Search again.

Microsoft first pulled back the link command in March of this year, due to trouble with automated queries. But as Karen reported, it seems to be back with a new prefix.

Just add a plus sign before the operators and it works. For example, a linkdomain command is now +linkdomain:www.searchengineland.com, and a standard link command is now +link:www.searchengineland.com.
