My site was listed about a month ago, I check on a regular basis, to find it threw your search feature but for the past month I get nothing. I did goto the help on the DMOZ.org website this is what I found.

Why isn't my site coming up when I search on DMOZ?
If your site was recently added to the directory, it will may take a day or so for it be included in the search index for DMOZ.
Quote can be found here: http://dmoz.org/help/search.html

I am only letting you know that your search index needs to be updated, with the new sites that have been added. This is not a rant, just a friendly reminder.

Thank you,
Johnny

The search index gets updated when it gets updated. Though we appreciate the thought behind the friendly reminder, it's not something that gets done more quickly with a reminder. :D (by the way, it's only been 2 weeks since the site was listed, not a month)

Also, keep in mind that your site will generally only come in a dmoz.org search if you search on the domain name without the www, e.g. to search for http://www.dmoz.org you would search for dmoz.org. Searching for keywords or even the title are not likely to pull up your site as that isn't the way our search is designed to work.

OK, well, I am new to the forums. I don't know how all this works, just yet. But I am Learning. Although, I may of seemed like I was complaining, I was not. I appreciate when people let me let me know when there is a problem with my site, so I can fix it. I thought I would pass on the same courtesy. If it was taken any other way than that, I apologize.

Thanks,
Johnny

Well, certainly there is a problem in the documentation: where it says "a day or more", in this millenium it should have said "several weeks".

I doubt anyone here thought you were complaining. In any case, I was able to search your site.
