I need immediate help, if possible. It appears the Google Tool, "Dataset Search Engine", has reverted back to a March 2020 condition, or even earlier. 

We submitted a page for crawling and it appeared in the Dataset Search 1/26/21. 

Now it doesn't appear in the 100+ results. 

Has there been a change in the Google Dataset Search during the last week?

Also, is this email is active for Google Dataset Help: dataset...@googlegroups.com

Thank you

Hi, this is the Dataverse Project Community Mailing list (dataverse.org) and not a general list for Google Dataset Search report. Are you running a Dataverse installation and seeing issues with how information from your Dataverse installation is being displayed in Google Dataset Search, or is your search related to Google Dataset Search more generally?

Hi Danny,
Thank you for the email. You are very kind to send a reply. We do not have a Dataverse project. I will contact the Google group for Dataset Search from Dataset Search help section, actually I see I included it in my email (Snow brain I guess): dataset...@googlegroups.com

No, we are not currently using Dataverse, but I believe Boston College Library has some connection for research groups. Can you direct me to information about it?

A thousand thanks,
Sue Farrell

Hey Sue, good luck with getting the Google Dataset Search issue resolved! Regarding the BC Dataverse collection, it's available here: 


There are some links in the description for the Dataverse collection, including the "Research Guides" and a contact link for the team at BC that supports researchers that want to deposit data. These should hopefully provide more information for you.

Hi Danny,
Thank you for the encouragement and speedy replies. I hope to understand what works best for discovering datasets.

It was unexpected that after a year the Search Results would change, not just in ranking but in coverage.

Thanks again,
Sue
