using "link:" query in google

Why is it that when I try to use "link:" to check if google detects any backlinks for my website it doesn't return any results but if I use other online tools available in the web they can detect that I have 150 backlinks.

Don't use that search operator, it's pretty much random results If it even works at all. Use WMT, ahrefs, or seospyglass.

I didn't even know the link: search operator still works.

Anyways, as yukon mentioned, use backlink checking tools. It will make your life 50x easier and with Excel, maybe 100x.
