---- Google June 2003 : Update Esmeralda Part 2

Googleguy,

I think you solved my "missing index page" problem with this:

dazz, you can accomplish the same thing by adding "&filter=0" to the end of your search.

<added>Note that this filter seems to work on any serp, not just ones with the 'omitted' msg </added>

I stick that at the end of the search, and my index page appears indented (along with a few others) under the main unindented internal page. Full fresh tag and all.

<added>In fact using that filter not only removes duplicate results that may appear indented, but also other pages from my domain that would appear further down in the serps. This would then be a good tool to see how all of your pages are doing in the serps that they normally filter out</added>

So it seems they may have done something to eliminate having >1 relevant result from the same site in the same SERP? (for me both the internal and index pages would be relevant here...)

Anyone else see this?


The index page that was showing in the serps (sans www.) may just be some as-yet-untrimmed-fat still present in the serp.

If this is the way it's going to be (posting relevant internal page rather than index page), I might suggest including the description and category tag for the internal pages of sites, as this is good information that I think helps Google users, certainly in the case of sites that I work with...
