This just happenned within the last hour. Previously had thousands of sup's and regular pages.
What is your opinion on this particular DC, does it show any supplementals for you? Is the SERP showing relevant results?
I believe what we are seeing is nothing more than a problem, this is not what Google intended and presumably they wll fix it.
Chasing your tail while this is going on is pointless
Just my opinion
I disagree. I have done a complete 180 on my thinking as to what is going on and I believe it is definitely a purposeful action by google. This is not to say that it will go on forever but I do believe that eventually the whole web will be reindexed and in the end a lot of problems are going to be solved.
There is no "exact match" search for search terms in "quotes". That no longer works.
Some sites have dropped thousands of pages. I am aware of an osCommerce site that has just 20 pages of their 20 000 pages listed now.
Some searches that I do, now have 100% Supplemental Results returned.
One search that should only have 20 results returned, now has more than 900 results, and none of them exactly match what was searched for.
Some sites have had all their old Supplemental Results from 2004 cleaned up. Some have not.
Some sites have gained a whole pile of Supplemental Results from 2005.

@ tigger you mentioned 10th, is that an improvement or sad news
@ g1smd I saw it move across a few dc's a few times over the last 2 - 3 weeks also, whats your take on the serps it provides, good, bad or no difference? to me they look clean (ish) the spam around me fell away weeks ago from that DC
Sorry left out url of DC
big improvement on .com I'm sat at 19th, but the thing I don't understand is why the rankings would improve but the pages cached dropped! .com show 150 out of 600 while this other DC shows 148 - madness
I love it...
It probably is the very beginnings of a soup, but its so messed up now it is hard to image what it would be.
Why have they upped the filter and therefore removing a huge amount of content? Space problem?
Deepsearch has let the cat out of the bag.The 'plex have sunk to "playing" with the index and have no grip on what they are doing.
Deepsearch is in Deeps..t.
The last duplicate filter seems to have been applied within the last few days which explains this topic. But clearly it is not a duplicate filter, it is a web page (or web site) filter.
does anyone at least agree on when the last update took place?
The last "authenticated" update was the multi-part monster called Jagger -- it began around October 18, 2005 and went into mid-November. Then we had a holiday hiatus, followed by the tsunami rumblings about the new Big Daddy infrastructure in January.
These SERP's are just a juggling amongst DC's. Are we going to be seeing this constant rolling of the SERP's for the distant future?
Seen this 2nd set of SERP's on 72.14.203's yesterday, they are now gone. Now seeing this 2nd set of SERP's on 64.233.161's, 216.239.37's and 216.239.39's. Two or three days ago 64.233.161's were displaying these results then it dropped them, now the 2nd set of SERP's are back on it. Will it ever end?!
And still yet today, where is that 3rd set at? It pops in and out no matter what IP is delivering results.
Could this be "spring cleaning" or "cleaning out the closet time"?
This update started about 3 weeks ago whe people started talking about results on an experimental datacenter.
Over the past month, this new dataset has spread from 2 to 22 datacenters, over a little over 1/4 of all Google data centers. Also, all the supplemental crap is gone from these 22 datacenters.
This update is taking a long time, however I suspect that the google bigdaddy infrastructure change has created a backlog of work, to get things updated.
After all the datacenters have been updated, I expect google to start a deep crawl or at least start adding the deep crawl data to the results.
Tools such as MCDAR, makes data center watching very easy, and in a few minutes, you can see the big picture, with regard to your site rank.
The days of checking your results on one datacenter, and trying to make a conclusion is over. Datacenter watching should be a required prerequisite for all webmasters.
"I have been datacenter watching for the past month now. And I tell you, by watching all (or most) of the data center on a daily basis, things start to make sense.

Thats a Google Datacenter Watching at its best!
Thanks!
lgn1 Would you list a few DCs in the set you are talking about? I thought I had it figured out but now I'm not so sure.

Today if I do a search in our defaul DC 72.14.207.104,only 24 pages come up (new redesigned pages) and the rest, all supplementals are gone.
I hope G will start reindexing our site regularly now and put back all of our existing pages.
I would like to know if anyone sees any changes on the defaul G DC as well.
