Search Console Indexed Page Count vs Site:Search Operator page count

[pdowling]

We launched a new site and Google Search Console is showing 39 pages have been indexed.  When I perform a Site:myurl.com search I see over 100 pages that appear to be indexed.   Which is correct and why is there a discrepancy?

Also, Search Console Page Index count started at 39 pages on 5/21 and has not increased even though we have hundreds of pages to index.  But I do see more results each week from Site:psglearning.com

My site is https://wwww.psglearning.com

Hey there,

Your issue is very well explained in this thread.

The only difference is that the other questioner has more pages in GWT that in "site:" search. But it shouldn't effect relevancy for your question.

Hope it helps. Cheers, Martin
