You'll have to ask Google the 'why'; but you are correct, the link:search is
not an effective way to find backlinks. Google staffers have hinted it is to
discourage the obsession with links, but there's no 'official' view that I'm
aware of.

Yahoo! is a better source. If it matters. After all, you have no control
over them when you find them, and no reliable way to gauge their quality!

Good Luck
