Strangest results since ever doing a site:xyz.com -affksafa search

SERPS changing whitin 2 minutes

[elmarpanzenberger]

I just did a normal site:xyz.com -adfsdfdfas search for my site and found 25 pages indexed. I repeated the search two (2!) minutes later and got 228 pages indexed (they where really into the SERPS since i wieved every single one!).
Afer viewing the pages i repeated the site: search and got 25 pages!
Doea anyone have an explanation for this?

G has an estimated 70k machines around the planet in about 10 active locations. One location won't necc have the same index as another location. Add in the fact you may not always connect to the same location and you may see different results even reload to reload.

No, its happening for me too.

One term i plug in, and i keep hitting the 'search' button, and i get a different result every 2 minutes.

i think google is twitching.

There used to be an old rule that said that any search on Google would connect you to the same data center repeatedly for 15 minutes....that now seems to be out of the window.

GG feel free to update us on how it works today ;)

I just tried a few searches and hit the "Google Search" button repeatedly, each time it returned one of several different results (SERPs), largely the SERPs were the same, but the number of relevant pages jumped erratically.

I figure Google is now jumping between data centers randomly, you could get any one of several results returned.

Could be, but i noticed yesterday that the results on datacenter ab, which gave me up to 300+ indexed pages after a while changed back to 25. It came up today with 230 pages. Strange.
Event the results where jumping from one dc to another.

Yes indeed. A search for keyword -sraewret brings up anchor text based results. And man are they ugly sometimes.

It doesn't for the searches I tried.....but I know someone who would be very happy if it was doing this again;)

Yesterday I noticed major shifting in SERPS (all datacenters) and different results on different datacenters for plain keyword1 keyword2 search, (w/o the -fgfgfgfg thing), tried to post on this but mods didn't let my posting through, has anybody seen something like this or this happened only to the words I monitor

today many datacenters are not reachable, what dcs are currently online? may be there are some new I'm not aware of

[elmarpanzenberger]

At the moment I only can reach ex, ab, in, cw and kr.

On the others i get a 110 error (connection timed out) or no reponse at all.

[Furmanov]

yep, and they all seem to contain the same index now, yesterday right before www-lm went offline it returned some really different serps

Same here since last night. Suggests to me Google is doing some sort of major upgrade. (Note I wrote *upgrade*, which has nothing to do with update in the SERP sense.)

Another thing I noticed was when I typed "site:abc.com -a" in Google, it gave a list of "skeleton urls" crawled for a domain, without any other information like title or body. I tried this for several sites and it worked, but for some it didn't.
