Do the search engines really change often?

For all you doubters out there….

Ahem…

In less than 24 hours from the time I posted about Supplemental Results, Google declared that the label “Supplemental Results” ceases to exist.

In the graphic I posted yesterday, you saw the phrase “Supplemental Results”.  Today, you will no longer see that as Google announced on their Webmasters Blog:

The distinction between the main and the supplemental index is therefore continuing to narrow. Given all the progress that we’ve been able to make so far, and thinking ahead to future improvements, we’ve decided to stop labeling these URLs as “Supplemental Results.” Of course, you will continue to benefit from Google’s supplemental index being deeper and fresher.

Webmasters / SEOs have been posting complaints to this post – with valid crabbiness!  Without this label, it’s difficult to discern what pages need more work!  I did check on the command site:www.yourdomain.com/&  and it still works.  But who knows how long that will be around.

You know that as soon as we see that command disappear, we’ll let you know.
