I have tried linkdomain:www.example.com with MSN.com and it returns no results with any site I try. I also tried link:www.example.com, with no success.

Has something changed recently?

This happened a good few months ago, see [url=http://www.webmasterworld.com/msn_microsoft_search/3292430.htm]Live Search's link: operator turned off[/url]

The [url=http://www.searchengineworld.com/r/redirect.cgi?f=97&d=3292430&url=http://blogs.msdn.com/livesearch/archive/2007/03/28/we-are-flattered-but.aspx]official response[/url] was that this was disabled to prevent "mass automated usage for data mining".

Try:
links to example.com

No colon.

links to example.com

That looks to be just a keyword search to me, unless I'm missing something?

Thanks folks, just Yahoo left then?
