Search for Pages with Links to Specific File Types

SUMMARY: Find webpages using MSN Search that link to multimedia or other document types.

There may be times where you need to find pages that contain links to files of a particular document or multimedia type. For example, you may want websites:

* relating to taxes, containing PDF files of tax documents
* relating to Sean Connery, containing links to Real Audio or Real Video multimedia files

To perform these kinds of searches with MSN Search, you can use the "contains:" keyword, followed by the file type that you wish websites to link to.

For the first example, let's look for webpages with "1040" (USA income taxes) containing PDF links:

1040 contains:pdf

Now, to look for webpages mentioning Sean Connery that link to multimedia files playable via RealPlayer:

"sean connery" contains:ram
