Yahoo Site Explorer Confusion - Very different backlink results from Canada VS US
When I'm checking for backlinks, I've noticed that I get significantly different results in Yahoo.ca VS Yahoo.com. I've been accessing the results from Yahoo.com via (the mostly useless) LinkPopularity.com.

Here are a few examples:
Canadian: http://ca.siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/siteexplorer/search?p=http://www.nimama.ca&bwm=i&bwmo=d&bwmf=s
US: https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/advsearch;_ylt=AsgQrTA4ko8n9XKN_4T5Lvzbl8kF?p=http ://www.nimama.ca&bwm=i&bwmo=d&bwmf=s

Canadian: http://ca.siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/siteexplorer/search?p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.caissiekarate.com&bwm=i&bwmo=d&bwmf=s
US: http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/advsearch;_ylt=Ao2u.3U6Qck1MoyDFujY2kfbl8kF?p=http %3A%2F%2Fwww.caissiekarate.com&b=1&bwm=i&bwmo=d&bwmf=s

Canadian: http://ca.siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/siteexplorer/search?ei=UTF-8&p=http://www.ottawa.ca&bwm=i&bwmf=s&searchbwm=Explore+URL
US: https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/advsearch;_ylt=AsgQrTA4ko8n9XKN_4T5Lvzbl8kF?p=http ://www.ottawa.ca&bwm=i&bwmo=d&bwmf=s


QUESTIONS:

Why the differences in results?

Which is more reliable?

Is there any other way I can check Yahoo.com (instead of .ca) results if I'm in Canada (without going through LinkPopularity.com)?

use "linkdomain:"

I have noticed that yahoo site explorer sometimes gives weird results. I haven't had any problems with linkdomain.

Just tried that and found that "linkdomain:" automatically redirects me to Site Explorer, just like "link:" does. I get the exact same results in both cases.

How are you able to use "linkdomain:" without going through Site Explorer? It doesn't seem possible for me.
