Are you noticing a big increase in revenue on your site search pages?

Google is only show a couple of matching pages from you my site and the rest of the screen are all ads.

Yes, the site command is now apparently showing mostly supplementals for everyone [google.com]. If they don't get this fixed soon, I for one will be forced to use a different brand of site search.

Nope. Fortunately, my sites that get any site search traffic don't have the site: problems.

Extra money would be nice, but I'm partial to having a working search function.

Actually the onsite search function is working - much better than it used to.

Now it only shows the top 3 or so pages that contain the keywords rather than every page on the site (as it did before).

Yep, since they gave us the option to display the search results in our own site's look, search has done pretty well for me.

They fixed it on google.com site searches, but Adsense searches are still showing all supplementals after the first 3 organic results for me.

Yea, but after the top 3 you now (typically) have hundreds of supplemental pages listed correct?

Like I said, I'm running the AdSense site search on a really strong site. A search on a manufacturer name brought back 375 pages and showed 373. A search on an item time returned a couple thousand and showed 977.

Those numbers are *better* than I get on google.com with a site: search, though not much.
