It has been a few weeks since my site has been listed in dmoz (which I'm thankful for).
However when I search for it, no results are found. I can obviously view it in the respective category.

Any thoughts?

Okay, I see.

But from any personal experience would you say that there is a delay before the site properly gets indexed into the search? Just as the FAQ states, I do type in "mydomain.com" however still no results are found.

Thanks for your time.

Why do you think we write things in the FAQ?
Because they are true or because they are just things we make up for fun.

Our rudimentary search is primarily intended to help surfers and editors to find an appropriate category. It's not focused on checking whether or not mydomain.com is listed.

Anyway, if surfers already know about mydomain.com, why would they be searching our directory for it :)?

According to this page -

http://www.dmoz.org/docs/en/add.html

The search function is also intended to be used for finding out if your domain is listed or not. See Step 1 and 2.
