If you have not done any changing then no need to worry.. IT happen with many people. These were soon recovered. Wait for few days and comeback here with result.
have you heard about google having problem with indexing sites.. maybe its still because of it: http://www.searchnewz.com/topstory/news/sn-2-20101026HowGoogleFailedToIndexNewPages.html
I did the moving domain since last Friday, On Friday, it also indexs my blog, but Since saturday, it has not index any new post, eventhough, they crawl my site most of the time. Hopefully, this will get done faster, so I can see my site change.
Wow, there is a such big difference between "site:sample.com sample" and "site:sample.com" in my site , 58,000 / 1400. When i check the google result from "site:sample.com sample", it shows me some cached info which means that there is many duplicated search results. so it is not accurate.. why not check your google webmaster tool?
It happened to me too. My indexed pages get decreased by couple hundreds percent and then get back to normal. Then get less again. Who knows what Google is doing...
Google has drastically shrunk indexing for big sites with thousands of pages especially. It could be that it now considers those pages as low quality....or duplicate. Those are probably in supplemental index previously, and now all are getting deleted. Previously, supplemental index is still shown, but maybe not any more. For example, now if you search total pages indexed for DP, it is only 173,000 results, but there is actually millions, previously. Smaller sites seem to be doing fine - No drastic shrinkage of index records. What is of more concern is that Google is not properly indexing NEW pages created.
