I found this piece http://searchengines...unindexed.shtml at SearchEngineShowdown and its over a year old. I've searched and searched, but can't find any other references to "unindexed URLs" except for other articles referring to this one. Mostly, I'm looking for clarification. Afterall, it doesn't make sense for a URL to appear in search results when it isn't included in the index.

GoogleGuy posted a message (possibly a month ago) discussing this. There are sites that Google knows the URL to but cannot index for any number of reasons (robots.txt, sessionIDs, password protected, noindex tag, etc.). However, if there are sufficient links to it, Google can guess what the page is about and display the URL in the SERPs without any description or cache.

Thanks! I did a search for it over there at WebmasterWorld, but didn't get any relevant results (I just couldn't believe it hadn't been discussed!). So, thanks a lot I'll go looking for that thread.
