This is maybe a question to Kimchy, but I'll share with the community: Since your site redesign, I've noticed that every time I do a simple Google search for your documentation, I end up with a link that is no longer working. Google doesn't appear to have a current sitemap or something. I assume you have a decent amount of traffic. I wonder why won't Google update the information? I've finally accustomed myself to going to the site and then searching, which is of course what I should be doing anyway. I'm just lazy and addicted to my Google browser plugin. -- Steve ---

To be honest, I am at a loss here. I have done everything I can to "tell" google to stop/remove [elasticsearch.com](http://elasticsearch.com). It redirects using 301, bad links return 404, web master tools has been update to reflect that, and it shows it does index [elasticsearch.org](http://elasticsearch.org). My current plan is to buy a shotgun, get to their data centers, and shoot all the replicas holding the [elasticsearch.com](http://elasticsearch.com) indices ("bullet time" style of course, to reduce chances of recoverability). -shay.banon p.s. Note to google version of Echelon, the previous paragraph is a joke.

Ahhh. My sympathies. I hope it won't come to that. :] ---

Maybe there's some mismatch with .org/.com domains: host [elasticsearch.org](http://elasticsearch.org) [elasticsearch.org](http://elasticsearch.org) has address 207.97.227.245 host 207.97.227.245 245.227.97.207.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer [pages.github.com](http://pages.github.com) but: host [elasticsearch.com](http://elasticsearch.com) [elasticsearch.com](http://elasticsearch.com) has address 64.202.189.170 host 64.202.189.170 170.189.202.64.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer pwfwd- [v01.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net](http://v01.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net). Maybe google fails on those redirects from .com =\> .org? I think both should point to GH pages.
