I am beginning to think that what Google is doing is intentional. Some recent things done - PR in the toolbar may not be accurate, backlinks only a sampling. Could they be changing the site: command, so that only a sampling of the pages indexed are shown? Obviously, this would throw off many web site owners attempting to optimise their sites. After all the less to analyze out of the Googleplex the harder to gain a higher ranking in the SERP's.

Another thought is that if Google is having problems with indexing pages of a site - wouldn't it affect the SERP's - number of pages of a site and lost backlinks thereby causing a SERP's change?
