Is anyone familiar with or have used Google Custom Search in a website?

I'm trying to understand why my Google Custom Search results aren't showing everything that exists on the site I'm building:

http://everythingpropertymanagement.com

Thanks for any help!

Can you give any specific instances? I can search fine on your site, but I don't know all of your content. Seems to be populating fine as far as I can tell. More details would be helpful.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for replying. So I've noticed when searching that not all of the items are showing up in the search results. Not sure if Google isn't crawling the site or if there's a setting that's not turned on or that is limiting the number of search results.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your time!

Again, I'm not sure I'm seeing what you're seeing because I don't have anything to judge it against. There are parameters you can set in GCS, but they wouldn't happen by default... and I'm not sure that they would cause what you're experiencing. Can you give a specific example? Like a search term and what actually populates vs what should populate?

If I search for "investment" it returns 35 (4 pages) of results.

Hey Kevin,

It looks like you're right. I've just noticed however if I search for 'Florida Property Management' only the home page shows up. However if I search just 'Florida' 12 results show up. There are 32 posts with the category 'Florida' attributed to it...

Not sure why they all don't show up....

Any ideas?

Thanks again for your time
