Normally in cases like your site Google is showing a message that the remaining results are similar to the ones.
Some reasons why Google is not displaying all results:
- You have a lot of semi-duplicate pages like http://www.blackbowchauffeur.com.au/theme-park/aussie-world-to-cedar-creek-from-cedar-creek-to-aussie-world/947583845769996550
- Some of your url's have a backslash / others not - in your internal linking you use both. The backslash version have non-back slash as canonical (not sure if this is always the case)
- You redirect url's with capitals to the non-capital version - but you use the version with capitals in your navigation
- pages like http://www.blackbowchauffeur.com.au/airport-transfer-connection-to-and-from-suburb-starting-with-h/ don't really add value for the index either
- you might also want to check your 404 pages - they look like a 404 - but non existing pages are redirected with 302 to 404 page with http status 200 - example http://www.blackbowchauffeur.com.au/price/lismore-airport-to-highfields-from-highfields-to-lismore-airport/faq -> 302 to http://www.blackbowchauffeur.com.au/404-page-not-found which unlike the page is stating has a http 200 status
Summary - after crawling 1892 url's of your site - my crawler found 1215 redirected url's (quite possible that these count as url in the results when you do site:mysite.com) as you continue to use them in your site's navigation. From the url's that are actually working a lot of them are near duplicates.
Use a tool like screaming frog to clean your internal links - point internal links directly to the final destination. Check if you really need all these detailed pages - they are just adding weight to your site and I am not sure if Google will index them properly + show them in the search results. Also correct the 4xx page - it should show 404 as http status.
Apart from all of the above - the site:mysite.com is not the most reliable way to check which pages are in the index. Check your search console (and the landing page report in Analytics) & combine this info with a log analysis to see which pages Googlebot is actually visiting. You will learn much more about issues with your site than using the site: command.

What Google Analytics Data to Share with Potential Website Buyer
Hi Mozzers,
Industry News | | emerald
We have contacted our competitors to let them know we would like to sell our website (domain and all content). One of them has asked for Google Analytics data. Which parts of this and how is this data best shared in such a case? As this is the opening of offers, I'm assuming some kind of PDF export with a summary of some Analytics data is sufficient to see who is serious. Then for those who are serious more data could be shared. Or is it ever ok to share your full Analytics with a competitor? Would love to hear what data and best practises are used to share this kind of information. Thank you.0 -

Is this still Google?
My niche, my concern.
Industry News | | webfeatus
http://www.google.com/search?q=jimbaran+villa
My site just dropped out of the rankings completely. But if you look at the Google search above you will notice 2 things:
1. First page: 75% of space above the fold is dedicated to Google making money
2. Subsequent pages: It is like you don't actually search "Google" If you flip through a few pages what you actually search is:
agoda.com
flipkey.com
tripadvisor.com
homeaway.com Do I have a point or am I simply having a cynical day?1 -
Does Google still have a standard search result? How can I get it?
I have heard a lot from the experts that there are no "Standard" Google search results anymore. They said that most of the SERP's of Google that show up are customized/tailored for each individuals even if they are not logged-in using their Google Custom Search. My questions are, Is there still a way to retrieve the standard Google search result? How? Are these scripts will be helpful when searching on Google? *webhp?

So, Google is the best site on the internet.. Right? Or is that just what most people tend to think off-face?
LOL woah, put the guns away. I'm not about to rant, I just have a question and wanted to present it well. Then again, I might have actually found some easy fixes to some of Google's tools that they could make. So here's the thing. I noticed how annoyed I always getting when I have to sign in every time I go to the adwords keyword tool, or analytics. Why do you have to sign in a million times? I think it is a problem that can be fixed because if you go to check your webmaster tools, you go straight into your account, where you can then select which site you want to explore. It knows that I am already signed in to Google Accounts when I go to webmaster tools, but it doesn't recognize that fact when I go to my Analytics account, or to use the Adwords Keyword Tool. Now, every site has things that they need to work on, but not necessarily that need to be 'fixed'. Google being so commonly accepted as the best site on the net, I thought it was funny/interesting at the least to point out the problem. Even funnier is the fact that I could submit it as a problem to see if they could fix it or not, but they do such a good job of making it hard for people to contact them, that A) I don't feel like wasting my time trying B) I don't even really know if it is possible to do that. Also, why is there no official Google Analytics App / Mobile site?? Google has been pushing how important mobile is to us webmasters, but then it doesn't seem to be very high on their priority list for the tools that we use. I mean you can't view graphs on phones / tablets (mine at least), in webmaster tools, OR google analytics. Also, its a pain in the but to click the sign in button on Google Analytics when using my phone / tablet, it disapears really fast for me (needs more research from others to see if everyone has the same problem) Thanks for the interest / answers everybody. Look forward to hearing from you guys. Also, tips and help would be nice if anybody knows a solution to my sign in issue

How to remove a Google algorithmic penalty
My site has a Google penalty. I seem to be stuck in the 64th position for a Google search for my sites name. All my keywords that I used to rank well for are now well above the 60th search place in Google. I have resolved the issue I recieved the penalty for and I have asked Google for reconsideration. That has been about 3 months ago. The penalty is still firmly in place. I was wondering if anyone else has had a Google algorithmic penalty removed and if so how did they accomplish this?
