Site: operator changes?

Discussion in 'Google' started by RedCardinal, Oct 6, 2006.

  1. #1
    It appears that changes have been made to the site: operator.

    In many cases the command is now showing at most 2 or 3 pages regardless of the number of pages indexed e.g. 1-3 of 496 or 1-2 of 367.

    Anyone got a pluasible explanation?

    Are we seeing the death of the advanced operators at Google?

    hi

    Yes the site: and info: operator have been disabled (lack of a better word) by Google

    Now they want you to use http://www.google.com/webmasters/

    And the site status wizard

    Hope this helps

    well:
    CACHE brings up pages from months ago - the command is probably working fine, but the cache information itself is wrong/out of date
    SIMILAR TO has never done anything for me to start with, I never understood it
    LINK TO hasn't worked for years
    SITE is now completely unreliable
    but CONTAIN THE TERM (which i've never had cause to use anyway but just had a look) seems on the face of it to work...

    So yes, I think death is imminent for these...probably along with toolbar PR, consistent SERPS and reliable search results. I wonder what the future holds?

    That being the case it seems a bit weird that Sitemaps gives us handy links to each of the operators for checking the index stats?

    The operator issues have nothing to do with PR Update....

    Site operator has definatly changed, for one site it which has some 388,000 pages indexed, shows 1-9 of about 388,000.
    Which was'nt the case earlier.

    This maybe again one of many problems that google is facing right now.
