My site finally got relisted in the dmoz directory in Top: Science: Environment: Air Quality: Indoor Air Quality. The only problem is I cannot get it to come up when I search for it. I have tried typing in the title, description, and just a couple words from the description, nothing seems to work. Got any ideas?

Thanks

They update the search function after a bit - it's not immediate. The directory listing happens, and then the next time they rebuild their searchable index, your site will appear there then.

I checked their home page this morning 3.8 million sites - give them a little bit of time :)

Also, I think they have something on their site, after you do a search, that says when their search was last updated...hope that helps!

btw, if no one said it yet, Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

I had the same problem toxic, confused me no end.

As jeremy_goodrich said it took a couple of weeks for the searchable index to update.
