site:/ compared to site:

site:/domain.com gives different results than site:domain.com in google.
I have long had suspicions that the site:/ command will tell you how many pages you have in the google index that are not in supplemental.

What are your thoughts about this, and if you have not tested this function yet, I'm pretty sure it will give you something to think about.

 

Yes, it is interesting. I will try it.

 

nice found

thank you for sharing

rep added

 

Thanks!! I hv tested this command. first i hv used with site:domain.com so they displayed 51 indexing links then try with site:/domain.com so they displayed 39 indexing links so rest of the links wud be under supplymental result?? n 39 is vry unique. !!

 

it looks intresing but what is your information source or is it a guess?

 

seems like site:/domain.com will also display pages indexed from other domains which end in 'domain.com' it's like a *domain.com
while site:domain.com will display only results from the 'domain.com' and it's subdomains

 

Well I have not found results from other domains using the site:/ command, I always get less result than site: and that makes me think it is filtered more.
My origianal thoughts were that the results is only showing pages that are not in supplemental.

I'm in no way certain about this.

 

perhaps [ site:/ ] does ignore some pages
By the way "/" can be used as following ways
site:/*/yahoo.com
and
site:/*/*/yahoo.com
eg: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:/*/*/yahoo.com

 

I just try it..and I get less result when using site:/ than site:
why?? I don't knew

 

Results are different really.
But what we can get for ourswlves from that?

 

cool trick, thanks

 

You found something interesting...something which many didnt knew...
