Search Engine Question...

Does anybody know of a search engine that will actually search through the html source? For example, if you're looking for webpages that link to other pages, so that when searching for "www.microsoft.com" would find all sites that include "<a href=www.microsoft.com>" or whatever... I've been looking for some old PC software (1986-9ish.) that I once had (and some that I still have, albeit on 5 1/2" floppies..) and I've found some sites with links to ftp sites, but most of the time they come back "file not found", and no amount of sifting through the FTP's directories seems to find it. I'm fairly sure that the apps I'm looking for are abandonware, but I suppose if they've been removed from numerous ftp sites they may still be considered warez, but that's really aside the point, becuase I'm still looking for a search engine that will sift through html source... Useful for finding what websites contain links to my own, and what not... If all else fails, I'll have to track down a 5 1/2" floppy drive... and hope it works in my system...
