site: numbers very different for Google.co.uk and Google.com

[hedwig]

Hi

I've just been handed a client site to work on, and in my initial benchmarking, I noticed that running a site: query for the domain on Google.com returns all pages in the domain.

Doing the same query on google.co.uk return only about 8% of the pages.

BTW, it's a .co.uk domain name.

I don't know if this is a problem because running a search for the main search term they want to achieve for on google.co.uk and google.com finds their home page at as exactly the same ranking position.

What do you experts think?

Those site: queries don't return sensible answers most of the time, these days.

In my case the site:command in the UK only shows my suplimental results and not even my homepage, so I think there is some sort of update.
The .com is normal
