Guys, for those of you that are reading this thread and don't understand what a "site:" search is in Google and why it's important.
So of you don't know about search operators in Google. You can visit here to learn more about them and try some of them out for yourself or simply Google "search operator" and you get a bunch of results. Here's a clip from Search Engine Journal about the "site:" operator.

Identify How a Site is Indexed
Example use: site:domainname.com
A tiny window into how a site is indexed by Google can tell you so much about how to tailor your SEO efforts accordingly. Using the site: operator is one of the simpler ways to do this, and you can get an idea of the site’s index count as well.
The index result count can help you identify massive technical errors on a large website. Say, for example, a site physically only has 270 pages but Google is indexing 15,000 pages from the site. This could range from incorrectly generated pages from on-site search, to issues arising from an http:// to https:// transition, and redirects not working properly.

I hope this helps explain this a little better for you guys who don't quite understand. If you have a website, it's important that you understand how your site is being indexed.
