Google Supplemental Index?

Help, please.... I've just been confronted with the confusing concept of
Google's primary vs. supplemental index. I'd like to get up to speed, or at
least understand their concept a little better. A few questions -

1) Google's help files make reference to "Why is my site labeled
"Supplemental"... Where in Google does a site show up with this label? I ran
random searches, and browsed thru their Directory, but couldn't find any
sites with this label.

2) How can I tell whether a specific website is in the primary or
supplemental index?

3) Any online "Supplemental Index for Dummies" that's recommended reading?

Thanks very much for your help

its not your site... its pages within your site that get flagged as
supplemental so do an allinurl:www.yourdomain.com and you'll see them
clearly labelled
