Try link:abc.com
link: abc.com
link: http://abc.com
and all other variations of this in major search engine to get a clear picture of back links.
Most of the result will be different as they will show the back links indexed by that search engine.
you can also go to linkpopularity.com to check linkpoularity of your sites.

Yahoo is better than other.

With the space you are not using the link: operator, you are actually searching for Link: & www.abc.com so it will show you pages that have the word link and the domain. Google's link operator is purposely broke, so its darn near worthless.

Use yahoos site explorer, it lets you eliminate links from the domain and shows you a lot more actual links.
