    To determine if you site's pages are indexed, use the Google "site:" search operator.

    site:YourSite.com

    This does not tell you where those pages rank for different search terms. For that you need to actually search using the term and check all the results. You can use SearchStatus for firefox to number the search results. You can add &num=100 to create a longer list of results per page instead of the default of 10.

    If it is in the "omitted" results, it means Google considers that page to be "duplicate" content, or similar to other pages by a large percent. It is still "indexed", just not being shown in the results. You will need to re-write or re-organize the content so that it is different from other pages.

    More likely is that the algo sees these pages as being too similar (near duplicate) to the pages that are not omitted.

    If the pages are low PR, sometimes Google maske a quick decision based on title and meta description - so ensure that each page has a unique title and description that is quite specific to the page content.
