my index page is kinda in limbo: for some keywords which appear principally on it, it is gone; for some it seems ot be there and for some you get a 2 month old index page.
It was crawled by Googlebot today so I have a faint hope it will be freshened.
As to the search quality, in the category I check most often the new index is very much as mentioned by subway with the flight destination search - sites hitting on 1 or 2 of three keywords in a phrase.
the sites that dropped were valid and had relevant content on all 3 search terms; the majority of those replacing them in the top 10 are link sites and - particularly galling since I am doing a "country adjective noun" search - 4 of them not even from the country I am searching for but supposedly world wide link sites with a SINGLE page for the country in question: sites with a zillion links but zero content.
