Default counting backlinks in Yahoo

In google, there is a command link:your_domain_here to give you backlinks, but it only gives a few.

I am wondering what the command for Yahoo and MSN are to do the same thing, i.e. find the pages that link to you.

Befor you say: why didn't you just search for this, it has been posted a million times, i DID! The search for this entire site seems to be broken, and after an hours worth of browsing in this and google categories, I am thinking it might be easier to ask.

TIA

This is from yahoo help page:

To see on how many sites are linking to a site:

* link: finds documents that link to a particular url.
Note that the URL must include: http://
o Example: link:http://autos.yahoo.com/

-----
I got no results without http://

Ah, I see we are talking different command:

link:

and

linkdomain:

I wonder how they are different from eachother.

using link:http://www.webproworld.com result in 57.200 links.

http - Yes No questions,but I got 30 more by just doing "mysite" and I checked every single one and they all backlinked. Try the DMOZ Forum for Google backlinks, I post there occasionally and big G picks up but Yahoo does not, well not on my site anyway

I use the following with no http://

linkdomain:my-site.com -site:my-site.com

It allows me to exclude all internal linking within my site so I can see the external IBLs.
