Google Doesn't Find my Website Contents Completely

Hello, please help!
I have submitted my website's url to Google and also added an xml sitemap.

URLs in my website are Search Engine Friendly (by mod_rewrite).

But when I search for something in my website using
"something site:example.com" in google search, it only finds it if the word "something" is in the first page (index) of my site.

for example if it's in the page "example.com/2/" and also there is Link to the page "example.com/2/" in the index of my site (example.com) , it doesn't appear in search's results.

thank you.

When did the site first appear in the G SERPS? Sometimes G just takes a bit of time to get round to indexing all of site.

A quick way to get a specific page (or pages) indexed is to go into Google Webmaster Tools, go to See as Google bot and submit the page from there. In my experience it gets a page indexed within a day or so.

Can humans get to the pages? Go double-check right now. Does the site use ordinary <a href.. links or something fancy with javascript? The googlebot has become very good at reading js, but if it's something unusually complicated...

Robots don't know that they've been rewritten, any more than humans do, so that shouldn't make any difference.

What do your site logs say? Has the googlebot been visiting? It doesn't follow new links instantly like a one-off robot, but if it doesn't come back within a couple of days, there's something physically wrong. Google never met a link it didn't like.

Yes humans can get the pages and links are not written by javascript.
I've been completely confused why google cant find contents.
Bing could do a little better and found some more contents that google couldn't! but again not completely ok and a lot of contents were not found.

Do you mean that this content is not indexed - or that googlebot has never requested these URLs at all?
