Some of the information may be outdated (for example, some images may be missing, and some links may not work anymore).<\/aside>\n<p class=\"gargardate\">Tuesday, July 31, 2007<\/p>\n<p>\n  When Google originally introduced Supplemental Results in 2003, our main web index had billions of<br \/>\n  web pages. The supplemental index made it possible to index even more web pages and, just like<br \/>\n  our main web index, make this content available when generating relevant search results for user<br \/>\n  queries. This was especially useful for queries that did not return many results from the main<br \/>\n  web index, and for these the supplemental index allowed us to query even more web pages. The<br \/>\n  fewer constraints we&#8217;re able to place on sites we crawl for the supplemental index means that<br \/>\n  web pages that are not in the main web index could be included in the supplemental. These are<br \/>\n  often pages with lower PageRank or those with more complex URLs. Thus the supplemental index<br \/>\n  (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mattcutts.com\/blog\/infrastructure-status-january-2007\/\" class=\"external-link\">Matt blogged about it<\/a><br \/>\n  and<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/video.google.com\/videoplay?docid=-3494613828170903728\" class=\"external-link\">here&#8217;s his talk<\/a><br \/>\n  about it on video) serves a very important purpose: to index as much of the relevant content that<br \/>\n  we crawl as possible.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The changes we make must focus on improving the search experience for our users. Since 2006, we&#8217;ve<br \/>\n  completely overhauled the system that crawls and indexes supplemental results. The current system<br \/>\n  provides deeper and more continuous indexing. Additionally, we are indexing URLs with more<br \/>\n  parameters and are continuing to place fewer restrictions on the sites we crawl. As a result,<br \/>\n  Supplemental Results are fresher and more comprehensive than ever. We&#8217;re also working towards<br \/>\n  showing more Supplemental Results by ensuring that every query is able to search the supplemental<br \/>\n  index, and expect to roll this out over the course of the summer.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The distinction between the main and the supplemental index is therefore continuing to narrow.<br \/>\n  Given all the progress that we&#8217;ve been able to make so far, and thinking ahead to future<br \/>\n  improvements, we&#8217;ve decided to stop labeling these URLs as &#8220;Supplemental Results.&#8221; Of course, you<br \/>\n  will continue to benefit from Google&#8217;s supplemental index being deeper and fresher.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"byline-author\">\n  Written by Prashanth Koppula, Product Manager, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mattcutts.com\/blog\/\" class=\"external-link\">Matt Cutts<\/a>, Software Engineer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a while since we published this blog post.
