http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=site%3Ahadafew.com&FORM=QBHP

Sometimes it will return something like "page 1 of 85 results containing site:hadafew.com (0.08 seconds)"

but when I check "next" it gives the final 4 of 14 results!!

Currently it's showing just 7 so the above doesn't apply.

Whatever - I've got 2 questions:
1) Why would it indicate 85 results but return only 14?
2)Why is it now returning only 7 results?

Most likely there are more pages on the same domain. So you may have 14 links listed to 85 pages.

Every page that I want to be indexed is linked to the index page and/or category pages (over 200 pages in all). It just strikes me as odd that msn would not
1) index all required pages
2) return an accurate count of pages indexed

eman - MSN is doing an update right now and the results are really screwed up for some reason - Id give a few days and see if they get it fixed
