DMOZ Search Results

I dont know if this problem is already brought to DMOZ attention. But when I search for websites that are already listed in the DMOZ directory in the DMOZ homepage, it says that no results are not found. www.<url removed> is listed in the directory. But when you search for it in the DMOZ homepage, it shows as no results are found. This is happening to me when I tested with many sites.

I've moved your post to its own thread because hijacking somebody else's about an entirely different topic is, at best, confusing and impolite.

Also, I've removed the URL from your post. There's never a need to mention a specific one here.

That particular bug in the search has been around as long as I can remember: If you include the www prefix in the search string, it will always fail to find the listing.

Search works best with yourdomain.yourTLD without any prefixes. Also, pleaswe remember that search uses a snapshot of our database that might be a week or so out of date. The snapshot date is at the bottom of the results page.

Before the recent upgrade, the snapshot was always at least 3 days out of date. I believe it's now usually less than a week out of date. But the snapshot date is still at the bottom of the results page.
