Hi All,

My flame suit is on, and I'm a ready fer' a thrashin'...

I have searched for my sites in the ODP before submitting just in case - using a huge array of terms, URL's, keywords and keyphrases that I know are withing the main pages of the sites - couldn't find a crumb of evidence to suggest any of the sites were there...

I then submitted one and was told it was under a different category - but _now_ I know this site is in the ODP, when I search I still cannot get the results back to say it's in there!!! I've read the search help that many times, I reckon I could recite it verbatim standing on my head, under-water...

It's really doing my head in!!! What am I doing wrong?

Sincerely,

Confused, battered and generally beaten.

Put away your asbestos underwear, you have nothing to fear.

Search is mostly/generally broken.

You can either browse for a site, or use google search, restricting it to http://dmoz.org

Hope this helps.

If you do a search for your site you will see at the bottom of the page that the search database was last updated on June 7th. Your site was added to the directory on July 28th. It probably won't show up in any searches until the next time the search database is updated. I don't know when that will happen.

Yes, I usually use the site:dmoz.org command on Google when I want to find ODP things search-engine style.
