    I feel that -site: command is not working in yahoo site explorer anymore.

    Earlier whenever I wanted to search for backlinks of site www.xxx.com, excluding links from www.yyy.com, I used to use this command:

    link:www.xxx.com -site:yyy.com

    But now it gives 0 results. Anybody else seeing the same thing or i am missing something?

    If I remove "-" , it will give links only which are coming from yyy.com ... but my requirement is that I need all links except yyy.com
