No, please provide a clickable link to the dmoz.org category you submitted to as per the forum guidelines. Thanks

Why isn't this reflected when I do a search on the domain name?

It still comes up with the old category listing.

The search database isn't necessarily kept up to date. It's updated roughly once a week. Since the search function on dmoz.org is used almost exclusively by editors and submitters, keeping it current isn't necessarily as important as other tasks. You can see the last time the database was updated by looking at the date at the bottom of the search results page (http://search.dmoz.org/cgi-bin/search).

Updating the database

I placed a submission months ago to have the category changed. It was changed relatively quickly but I would expect that the search would have been updated to reflect the change by now. Could this be investigated please?

There is nothing to investigate. The search computer is not always up to date, that;s just the way it works [or doesn't work]

Updating the database

I have investigated this a little bit further.

Originally I made a listing for my site Titled 'learntofly.net.au'

I then made a change to the description and Title (to 'Learn To Fly') and category to try and increase my chances of people hitting my site through a Google search.

When I do a search in DMOZ I find both titles listed. I thought that the first one would have been removed. Is this an issue of the search not updating or does the orignal listing still need to be removed? Google is only picking up this original listing.

Thanks!

No, this isn't an issue yet. Give it a month and try dmoz.org and Google searches again.
