I checked my indexed pages today, got 1-10 of 10. Search was for site:mysite.com also tried with www (I normally have hundreds)
So, being a little concerned, I checked my major keywords... Still at the top 1&2 of 43 mil results. OK, feel a little better.
Got a little more curious and clicked the 'more results from this site' link. The search was site:mysite.com keyword. This 'refined' search displayed 1-10 of 22 results from mysite.com with a keyword included... More results than just site:mysite.com.?
So, then I searched mysite.com (no site:) and got the full (hundreds of pages) listing for mysite.com.
Anybody have any thoughts on what the guys at M are doing, or what is going on?

from what I've seen MSN is highly highly highly dynamic, constantly changing, updating, recrawling. My sites constantly go (according to msn) from 10 pages large to 30 to 10 to 300 to 3000 (which is most accurate.) It seems this happens just after a new cache of your site appears in the serps. Same thing happens with backlinks.
As long as you keep your kw density about the same, you should be able to maintain rank...
Results are fine, that was one of the odd things.
I am still at the top of one word 24mil, 122mil and 256mil (according to thier #'s today.)
Was thinking maybe they're getting ready for changes and have some disconnects somewhere.
Thanks for letting me know I not the only one.

I search for site:mydomain.com
The first page of results shows
"1-10 of 1,720 containing site:mydomain.com "
I clink next> next> next> to page through results, and the number stays at 1,720
the paging links at the bottom indicate a large set of results, going to pages 7 8 9 ...
Until I get to page 6, then the result changes to
"51-60 of 60 containing site:mydomain.com". Then I can't page any further.
If I go back to page 5, the links are still there to pages 6 7 8 9 Next
This time, I click "9" and indeed I get
"81-90 of 1,697 containing site:mydomain.com "
notice that the number of results went down by 23?
By manipulating the "first" variable in the querystring, I try to grab records beyond 250, but there I hit a limit and I can only grab up to 250 results.
On page 25, I get:
"241-250 of 250 containing site:mydomain.com "
All of this doesn't seem to happen when I include a search term along with my site: parameter. Even a search for "site:mydomain.com the" avoids the glitch.
It makes it difficult to figure out which of my pages are in the index
Came back to normal this afternoon. Searching for site: gave all results.
I'm starting to wonder if they had a disconnect or something. 1st the results searched goes huge, then the site: command gets goofy, then the whole site goes down for about 45min, finally site:yoursite.com something starts to work, now it looks like the site: is comming back.
Will keep posting if they disappear again, or anything else unusual happens.

site:mysite.com is back down to under 100
site:mysite.com keyword is over 400
Two of my keyword searches:
1-10 of 208,951,617
same search on Y
Results 1 - 10 of about 443,000
1-10 of 54,240,671
same search on Y
Results 1 - 10 of about 231,000
Seems odd...
Rankings are still fine, so don't care too much, just interesting.
Anyone else still seeing the same thing?
Any ideas about why?
Justin
