Hi people,

I have received several complains that when users search using my adsense search box, they receive much less results than from Google.com I tried many other Adsense search box from other websites and found the same problem. Anyone know why?

Cheerios!

I have seen cases where Google reports less found results on web searches conducted through the Adsense search box compared to a search on Google, but the actual results listed have been the same.

hmm... sorry can you explain what you mean for "it is more accurate at reporting ' of about ' stats under one weight than the other"? I also noticed that when searching from different countries, the number of results differ too...

Reply from Google:

Your results may be different from the results on Google.com for a variety of reasons. The primary reason for these differences is that Google currently does not syndicate certain beta features, including the supplemental results index. Supplemental results are triggered on a relatively small number of queries for which Google's main index does not provide many results. Because this index is still in testing, we do not feel that it is ready to be offered to our AdSense for search partners. We appreciate your understanding.

Do you all understand what it means? So does it matter if my Adsense searchbox display less results?

It shouldn't be a problem. Here's a good thread on the topic of Supplemental Results:

Have you ever been dissatisfied with the results?
