I have some photo flash sites and I'm adding on the back end keywords to images on the site. Only thing. How do I know if Google has indexed these pages? Anyone know much about that? thanks!

use the site: command?

thanks Jon, what does that mean?

Type "site:example.com" into the search box to see if the pages are returned by the search engine.

I put

site:example.com


no quotes
into address bar.

I got Alert: Firefox does not know how to open this address because the protocol, site, isn't associated with any program.

Hi Kevs

Michael suggested you put site:example.com in the search box not the address bar. That is what you must do in Firefox since there is both a search box and an address field.

Of course if you had migrated to Google Chrome, it all becomes very much easier. There's only one box where you put either something you're searching for or a URL. In Chrome, typing site:example.com in the address/search box gives you a list of the indexed web pages.

An easier way, click then change for your domain:

Several search operators have been buggy to broken for months including 'site'.

If David Naylor is correct this may be precursor to 'webmaster' search options being moved into Webmaster Tools. Where, if past history repeats, they will lose detail and functionality.

Thanks Jon, that made it real clear.

It brought up 44 results, but my site has 127 pages. How definitive is this?

thanks Barry/ Iam lost / Michael
