Why such different results?

    When I do a search for plastic caps, the normal serps bring up a .uk site as #2. We're #3 (plastic caps). (this does not include supplemental results). Why then when I limit the serps to only .com, does our listing come up even lower and other sites show above us? Shouldn't the serps just show the original results with all non .com sites removed? In other words, the rankings should be in the same order. They're not. It looks like Google's algo is a bit off.

    How exactly are you showing only .com domains?

    Under advanced search, entered .com in the field for domain names to return. "plastic caps site:.com" is what shows in the search field of the G toolbar.
