Are you sure "site" works for that? Sounds a bit off.

"link" is not the answer, it's definitely "site".

Wait, can you really search text in links like that?

I believe "info" gives information about a website, but it doesn't actually search the text within the links, right?

I'm a bit confused. I thought "inanchor" was for finding keywords in anchor text, but I'm not sure how that applies here.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like "link:" might be the right operator for finding text in a link.

I think I remember something about using "site:" to search within a specific website, but I'm not sure if that's what Adam needs here.

I think the answer is A. The "inanchor" operator allows you to search for specific text within the anchor text of a link, which is exactly what Adam is trying to do in this case.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know there are various Google search operators, but I'm not familiar with the "inanchor" one. I'll have to review my notes on Google search syntax to make sure I choose the right option.

The key here is that Adam wants to search the text in the link itself, not the full content of the website. Based on that, I'm going to go with option A, "inanchor", as the best choice.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I know there are different search operators in Google, but I can't remember which one is specifically for searching link text. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm gonna have to go with C) link. Anything else just sounds like it wouldn't quite do the trick for poor Adam here.
