Let's say I ran the following query in Google's web search:
site:"superuser.com" "windows 7"
This will return results on the blog.superuser.com subdomain.
How can I restrict results to only be from the superuser.com domain and not any other subdomain?
This will do the trick:
[ "windows 7" site:superuser.com -site:*.superuser.com ]
This method has varying results and does not work for sites such as
- stackexchange.com
- cnn.com
- fox.com
- internet.com
-site:*.superuser.com.

Rather than using the site: search operator try using inurl: instead along with the + operator. Seems to work pretty well for me.
asd +[inurl:http://stackexchange.com]
or in the case of this question:
"windows 7" +[inurl:http://superuser.com]

Tests for other sites
newspulse +[inurl:http://cnn.com] no newspulse.cnn.com The Latest Scripts from JavaScript Source +[inurl:http://internet.com] no javascript.internet.com
+ operator gone since a long time ago... searchengineland.com/google-sunsets-search-operator-98189 )
Unsure about the other post (2011) but I've just tried and it works seamlessly:
Add inurl:www
site:"superuser.com" "windows 7" inurl:www
It seems to work perfect for me!
Another option would be to use the - operator to exclude the individual subdomains manually.
Eg:
site:"superuser.com" "windows 7" -inurl:subdomain
Another simple way to do that is to specify which subdomain you want to be cuted off from the final query, you can do as follows:
site:domain.com -subdomain -subdomain
site:superuser.com -site:*.superuser.com "windows 7"
