Hi everyone, I found a site listed on DMOZ but when I enter the domain into the DMOZ search it cant be found. I have been following this now for 4 weeks. Is this normal or is it a bug in the search function of DMOZ? Does it take more then 4 weeks to appear? By the way I also tried the name and it also cant find it. Look forward to any suggestions. Hope you can help.

Search can often be out of date. We don't see that as much of a problem because it's primary purpose is to find an appropriate category. If a website is listed in a category, it's listed

Hi Jim, thanks for the reply. just curios, How do online tools that deliver info about a site know that a site is listed with Dmoz? don't they use that search function? just interested in how it all works. Thanks again.

I don't know. They should be downloading our RDF database but maybe some of them scrape our search. Is the accuracy of these sites important to anybody? If they're important to you, I suggest that you ask them.
Yes you are right Jim. I suppose I was confused as to why some listings can be found via URL and some not. I appreciate your help thank you.
