Is it just an embedded URL in the body? If so, are we talking about pure HTML or one of the filters? What about linktonode links?

It would be any link from one node to another node which is detected by the search module. The backlinks modules uses the search module's index, it doesn't create its own. So the question would be, what's a "link" as far as the search module is concerned? I haven't experimented with what the search module does and doesn't index as a link. In my case I use relative links from the base url, for instance <a href="/node/167953"></a>, and that works fine.

The search module does apply all filters when indexing a node, as far as I know. So filters should work fine.
