Clearly the cause of problem - as several of us have been saying for a long time now - is at Google's end of the microscope.

I recently looked at a friend's (UK .com) site which - from here - seemed to be exhibiting the same symptoms. However, I ususally use a (US-based) proxy. His index page is missing when I use the proxy, but not when I don't. Mine, alas, is missing whichever way I look.

It looks like US-based (and presumably other international) searches on "google.co.uk" are routed to different DC's where (presumably) a different incarnation of the errant filter/alorithm is running. Unfortunately the Firefox "Show IP" extension only gives me the IP of the proxy, so I can't tell which DC(s) it is.

I can't think of any straightforward way to make use of this discovery, but if anyone has an idea...
