For the last two months, or so, I have been unable to get Goole search to return any data when typing two of my domain names into the search field. However, the other two domains have results showing for them. I can still find all my sites when searching, just not when I type in domain names. I don't understand... How does a site get indexed, and found when performing searches, but no info come back on the domain name? Puzzled a bit.

Is your domain name somewhere on the page as text? If a domain name can only be found on an image, or as text but in a different shape (like 'Webmaster World' whereas the domain name is 'www.webmasterworld.com', or like 'news@widgets' whereas the domain name is 'www.newsatwidgets.com'), then I can imagine Google won't show your pages until there is a link with the correct anchor text. OTOH there are more threads about problems finding a new domain (e.g. No visits from Googlebot [webmasterworld.com])

Hope this helps.
