That's what I thought Cormac.
0 pages indexed = cannot be sandboxed because by definition if you are not indexed you cant be under a dampening affect.
many pages indexed = might be sandboxed
The sandbox is not applied to the site operator - the fact that results are returned using a site: query is the same regardless of whether the site is under a 'sandbox' effect.
Sandbox does not remove pages from the index, it simply applies a dampening factor so that those pages will not rank above a certain threshold for competitive or semi-competitive search queries. You can only see sandbox effect using normal queries not the site: operator.
