[WEB4LIB] Finding links to specific pages

[Dan Robinson]

Bernie, Altavista still has 'link:" in its basic search. Enter link:url
(without the http://). I just did it and got no hits for the full page.
However I did get 166 hits for your directory. And using one of those
hits, added /digiref.html to the link search and came up with 24 linked
pages for that specific page.
