    Use site:xyz.com

    This will include all of the site's subdomains as well and will give a clearer picture of what's indexed.

    The site operator for those 2 versions should be the same. Do you mind sharing the URL so we can look into it further?

    maybe the reason is that there is no permanent redirection of non-www to www version..

    That 2 commands have the same results when I try it to my blog Gems Collection. Try it to prove that they are the same in result.

    I have noticed a disparity in results depending on the spacing between the command and the domain.

    For example:

    site:eyesonff.com
    site: eyesonff.com

    Both queries deliver a very different result. Why is this? I think that is what alexis.edwin is asking.
