How can you find out if your Web site is listed in the search
engines? And if your site is listed, how can you find out
which Web pages of your site are listed?We've assembled a
list with step-by-step instructions for each search engine.
Just replace "your-domain.com" with the domain name
of your Web site.For best results, omit the "http://www."
part, for example if your Web site is "http://www.Axandra.com",

Some of the search engines above will "cluster"
their search results, this means that they won't list all
Web pages that they have indexed.
Ask Jeeves, Teoma, WiseNut and other search engines and directories
are missing because they don't have commands to show which
Web pages of your site are listed.
To find your Web pages in those search engines, you can try
to search for your domain name.
