https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.gnoosic.com+Metallica https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.gnoosic.com+Metal... Looks like only page 6 is indexed for some reason. The site owner would be able to check the webmaster tools on Google to see why.

Probably because the site is not https, and Google rank includes https: https://www.sangfroidwebdesign.com/search-engine-optimization-seo/google-https-ranking/ https://www.sangfroidwebdesign.com/search-engine-optimizatio...

there are 3 parties: the end user searching for the content the webmaster or author of the content the search provider If I'm searching for something that I know exists and I cant find it there is no excuse. The search provider failed to do its job. There is not but the webmaster should have done this and that. He was hit by a bus 10 years ago and we should be happy the content is still available. A good search provider would link a vanished website to archive org if the content is exactly what the customer wanted. Long long ago when posting interesting links in comments didn't trigger commercial hysteria people would cite bits of texts and have a link to the full text. Later this became simply citing a chunk of text. I use to drop a few lines from the citation into the search engine and find the original work. Just look! https://www.google.com/search?q=Looks+like+only+page+6+is+indexed+for+some+reason.+The+site+owner+would+be+able+to+check+the+webmaster+tools+on+Google+to+see+why https://www.google.com/search?q=Looks+like+only+page+6+is+in.... As i'm writing this there are exactly 45 search results above the one that should have been displayed. There is no excuse like HN not ranking enough, they didn't not index the page, the other results didn't match the query better. If we do this with 4 exact lines from a less popular site it will end up some place on page 20 of the search results. Another example, I really don't care for indexing but here is an article that I always (jokingly) refer to as my greatest work. The exact title: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22the+wrath+of+the+book%22 https://www.google.com/search?q=%22the+wrath+of+the+book%22 A really weird result. Safe to say nothing matching is there. The first many words from the text: https://www.google.com/search?q=I+think+someone+%28you%29+should+write+a+book+about+the+damage+books+did+to+humanity.+Like+when+the+radio+replaced+singing+story+telling+became+story https://www.google.com/search?q=I+think+someone+%28you%29+sh... It doesn't find it. Then we check if it is even indexed... https://www.google.com/search?q=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.go-here.nl%2F8616 https://www.google.com/search?q=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.go-here.nl... And there it is! Why does it even crawl the page? It also lists websites that have the number 8616 on them and ones with both the word "blog" and "here" in the text. I'm not suppose to laugh?

Search console isn't really helpful in many cases. Unless there's an error, it'll probably say "crawled but not indexed", which gives you no idea why they didn't include it.
