@thias that was a good one.
🔏 Matthias WiesmannDoes anyone know what kind of connector the square one to the left is?
This is a Märklin 24089 infrared track, and this connector is used to power accessories. I expect this to contain the track power and some voltages and would like to make my own accessories, but for this I need to be able to order such connectors.

Mike Blazer 🇺🇦When was the last time you visited a collection page of an e-commerce site and read the lengthy text in its footer?
No one reads them, yet SEO experts insist that this information is valuable to users.
Ilana DavisWho do I report a Google Rich Results Testing Tool bug to? As of this morning, the tool shows an error when merchantReturnLink is present saying it’s missing the URL. But URL isn’t a required field and not documented in schema or Googles docs. https://search.google.com/test/rich-results/result?id=KSClbf6jQQzVuBaSlrzB8Q
@rrlevering are you the right person?
Thanks @tonymccreath for your help to confirm the issue.

@michael_martinez This is where I think the term index causes problems.
GSC will say a duplicate or canonicalised out page is not indexed, but it can show up in site: searches!
I've even seen cases of redirecting sites showing up in site: searches.
Do you consider 404 pages as indexed? Or a "crawled but not yet indexed" as indexed? They are stored in the data structure?
To understand the system. I think we have to use more than one term to mean many things.
@michael_martinez The point I'm making is that site: search results include URLs that will not appear in regular search results. Are they indexed or not? It depends on your meaning of index, or more accurately, what index you are talking about.
Same with how hreflang pages are separately indexed, they can be canonicalised out (not indexed) but are known about and replace the indexed version when appropriate.
indexed is a bad term. Google has data and multiple indexes on that data.
@michael_martinez site: query adds nuances to how indexing works.
Google uses the term indexed for a page included in the ranking system. But they have data on the pages that are not. Let's say they are in the broader index.
The site search uses the broader index. As you specifically requested information from a site, it will return results from the broader index. e.g. non-canonical pages.
hreflang-based localised results are another example of results containing non-indexed pages.
