FAQ - I can't find a document that I know is on a Web server, what should I do?
There are many reasons why this might be happening:
- Your search query was not constructed correctly
- The web server or the document was not available at the time the website was indexed
- There is no link to the document from any other document that was indexed
- The web page could be blocked either by the GSA or with a robots.txt file. SNSMR has blocked some pages at the request of some Web Coordinators.
