Speaking of Supplemental index...
So... with the site I USED to manage, if you went to Google and did a site:www.domain.com, you would get 307,000 pages.

If you did site:www.domain.com/* , 6060 pages.

If you did site:www.domain.com/& , 300,000 pages in supplementals.

now... is that bad or what!

No - using the * shows pages in the main index - using the '&' shows pages in the supplementals. I'm watching pages moving out of the supp index now and have found that the site:www.domain.com/& isn't always accurate - sometimes it shows all pages indexed and sometimes supplementals.

If it shows 300,000 pages in supplemental result, it means that you have more duplicate content.

The supplemental operators are not to be relied on. The have all been down for some time, except /&, and it only works when it wants to..With some question to it's accuracy.

If you want to know your supplemental pages, look at your flow, crawl rates to pages, serps, and the omitted results in the site command.

-Supplemental pages will have low or no Google organic flow
-Supplemental pages will be crawled very infrequently, sometimes as little as every 3 or 4 months
-Supplemental pages will not be performing for shorter key phrases in search, they will most likely be able to hit their page titles, however..Unless they are too short or highly competitive
-The site command will return all non supplemental pages on the first run, then on the last page at the bottom if supplemental pages are present there will be a link to display omitted results, this will add you supplemental pages in. Not much help here for large sites.
