Google preferred domain question

    It seems like Google only indexes those urls with your preferred domain in your google sitemap. if you specify domain without www, all the search results will be based on your domain without www. Therefore those with www urls are not indexed.

    Am I right?

    www and not www can be considered as different hosts.
    As a matter of fact, they are different hosts even if they usually points to the same location.

    You are encouraged to choos one host and use it by default.
    Sitemaps links should point only to this host and you should redirects other requests with a server side configuration.
