☀ïļ About akaSearch

AkaSearch is a crowd sourced database of Microsoft's aka.ms links. AkaSearch is not an official Microsoft product or service. If you like shortcuts check out 'cmd.ms the Microsoft Cloud command line!'.

🔗 What is aka.ms?​

aka.ms is Microsoft's url shortening service that is available to Microsoft employees to create short urls in the format aka.ms/shortname. These links are used in documentation, presentations, and other places to make it easier to share links.

ðŸ’Ą Why akaSearch?​

While there are curated lists of aka.ms links like Dynamics 365 aka.ms links there is no central place where one can go to find a list of aka.ms links. This is where akaSearch comes in.
