    try searching for "link:msn.com" on msn.com , there will be a "XML Parsing Error" , this has been going for a few months ever since they updated :p

    I would hardly call that a HUGE bug :p
    anyways, didn't they ditch the operator due to "data mining"?

    I just get a blank page also. I don't really see how this is a huge bug...it doesn't appear that it can be exploited but it is irritating to some degree even though I have no idea why you would want to search msn for msn.

    link: does not work for MSN. If you want to check the links to a site, search this on MSN:

    www.url.com -domain:www.url.com

    For MSN, this gives around 147,595 results

    That's an old one buddy.. That's not a bug.. The MSN really disable that link:

    the reason is data mining..

    Disabled by MSN itself.
    Not a bug.

    Also, Google and MSN are rivals so don't assume they'll use same algo...:D
