syntax - link:www.kalamazoolinux.org (no space)

link:  returns a list of pages linking to the specified URL.
Enter link:www.google.com and you'll be returned a list of 
pages that link to Google.  It does not say that this works
for ftp://  It does say that it works for http://

TEST:
========
Trying link:ftp.kalamazoolinux.org/pub/pdf/ldapv3.pdf
returned no results!
Trying link:ftp.kalamazoolinux.org/ returned no results!


Looks like it only works for http:// locations.
