Is the site command completely screwed up?

    Does anybody else see bizarre results for these commands?

    site:www.superstockhemis.com
    site:www.northeastbracketracing.com

    ?

    I see the first result from the correct site, but the rest are from sites like studystuff (dot) com, nyg-fans (dot) com, suphoto (dot) com.... What's up with this?

    The site: command hasn't been working right for months. Either it is on purpose or Google doesn't see it as a priority to fix it (I personally vote for the first reason)

    Here's how I see it...

    Trying out different searches like this, I see it on a lot of vBulletin sites. I wonder if it's got something to do with that?

    Hah, yep, me too. Using site: command now provides irrelevent results, pages from other sites. (no, this is not just vbulletin sites).

    I don't believe this is on purpose, as site specific searches are an important google function. Many webmasters give google traffic via site specific searches.

    ps: and the other sites appear - before - my site - and they (the other sites listed before mine) are supplimental. hmmppff

    Thats exactly my point. If you were trying to make SEO and link selling harder, what would you do?

    Ah, I hadn't noticed that... Maybe the supplemental index is screwed up? The cached dates on most of the non-site links are old, too... Februrary, March, etc.

    This is far beyond site: just not working properly.. or not displaying all pages. I'm seeing this :

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site:nddb.net&btnG=Google+Search

    For my site, the top resultsaren't even from my domain. ALSO, as you go through the pages, the number of results jumps around wildly.

    The site: operator is totally jacked up right now... I can't imagine it's supposed to work like this.
