MSN Search Only Search for PDF or DOC files SUMMARY: Force MSN Search to only return PDF or DOC files, not webpages. If you need to search for non-HTML documents, such as Microsoft Word (.DOC) or Adobe PDF documents, you can do so with MSN Search, but it normally will intermix these types of documents with standard web pages. If you know your desired result should be a certain document type, however, you can force MSN Search to only look through non-HTML documents. Just add the following extension to your search query: filetype:FILETYPE For example, to search for "car insurance" using MSN Search, but only return Adobe PDF documents, your query would be: "car insurance" filetype:pdf To search for "wedding checklist" but only return Microsoft Word documents (.DOC), your query would be: "wedding checklist" filetype:doc     Add: Del.icio.us | Digg | Furl | My Yahoo!   Discuss This Tip Print This Tip Get E-Mail When New Tips are Online Return to the MSN Search page.
