      Search operator "site:" show incomplete information. When I search with just domain name it show only 3 link that got crawl in past week, this is the link https://www.google.com/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=mLr3VfrhN4_BuATQuYugBg&gws_rd=cr&fg=1#q=site:sierralivingconcepts.com&safe=off&tbs=qdr:

      but when i look a specific link it show them in any time (search tools), https://www.google.com/search?q=site:http://www.sierralivingconcepts.com/p-6300-white-silver-regence-louis-xiv-mango-wood-ornate-hall-console-table.aspx&safe=off&biw=1600&bih=775&noj=1&tbas=0&source=lnt&sa=X&ved=0CBUQpwVqFQoTCJ-4iOLK-McCFQFwjgod43gI9A

      But when i look in cached page it says "appeared on 11 Sep 2015"

      I am total confused why google not showing all the new link that it crawl from my site.

        Hi Raj,

        The [site:] operator returns an estimated count of the number of indexed pages for the domain.Basically, Google displays a small percentage of the actual data because they believe it's not fair for spammers and competitors to reverse engineer someone's ranking.

        To get better results try open site explorer (https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/).

        Hope this helps.

        Thanks

        • My e-commerce site is getting great results with customer search for our store name, but we are still on page three or four in google when search for product key words. How can I get us on the first page when searching with product titles?
