How does site:www.???.com work for individual pages

    Can anyone explain this for me please?

    For some time now I have checked for new pages being cached with the site: command in Google, ie site:www.???.co/page.htm

    Lately I find that only half my pages seem to show up when I do this for an individual page, whereas the missing ones will appear if I do a site: for the whole domain.

    Occasionally I get one that shows up if I search for the page but is missing on the domain, not often though.

    I'm at a loss to understand what is happening.

    Good question. I've seen pages not showing up with the site: command, but which I KNOW are indexed. Maybe it's like the link: command - it just shows a portion of what it should.

    google treats www.domain.com and domain.com as different webpages unless you set the preference in google webmaster tools or use a redirect in .htaccess
