Searching for links to a domain within documents when the domain is not in the link label

[Vanessa Martin9]

Hi,

I need to clean out links in documents to a domain that our company no longer owns. If the domain is in the link label, search will find the document. However, if the link label doesn't have contain the domain, search will not find the document.

For example: the domain is abc.com, a link in the document is https://help.abc.com and the link is written as "visit Help"; if I search for abc or abc.com, search will not find the document. 

Thanks for the assistance.

I think a third party tool or powershell can help you.
