What is the Google link equivalent in Yahoo and Bing?
-
The link: directive in Google will find all pages which link to a given site. E.g. putting this in Google: link:stackexchange.com returns a bunch of sites linking to Stack Exchange. Is there an equivalent directive in Bing and/or Yahoo?

Answer:
I do not believe that Bing has one. See this, http://superuser.com/questions/19164/does-bing-have-advanced-search-operators for more general info on Bings options and how to find them. Specifically, this page from Bing, http://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/ff808421.aspx covers their search options. Finally, Yahoo probably is a duplicate of Bing since all of their searches comes from the Bing engine.

Bing doesn't appear to recognise the link: operator. However you can see links pointing to your site through their webmaster tools (same in Google). Yahoo, on the other hand, redirects all link: queries to its neat http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/ tool, which is the most comprehensive for domains you do not own. I don't know how long this will stay online for now that Bing runs their search results. Another useful source is http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/ by SEOmoz. Their index is small by comparison but you can usually see the most important links. Incidentally, although Google does technically support link:, they never show enough links to be remotely useful.
