No More Supplemental Index From Google?

By: Jaan Kanellis
2007-12-20

Well according to Google Webmaster Blog today they are announcing that they have one major index that they now search from. We should not consider the indexes as two separate sets of data The Ultimate Fate of Supplemental Results In 2003, Google introduced a supplemental index as a way of showing more documents to users.

Should You Rely On Alexa


Most webmasters will probably snicker about that statement, since supplemental docs were famous for refreshing less often and showing up in search results less often. But the supplemental index served an important purpose: it stored unusual documents that we would search in more depth for harder or more esoteric queries. For a long time, the alternative was to simply not show those documents at all, but this was always unsatisfying"ideally, we would search all of the documents all of the time, to give users the experience they expect.

So some questions:

So we should consider the SI as gone or non-existent correct?

Should we even look at those inaccurate SI or pages indexed operators ever again?

Are all pages being judged equally right now?

Is this why many websites have been seeing the total number of pages indexed going down when checking the site: operator?
