In the Google Search Console there is an option to see how many AMP pages is already indexed and how many contains some errors.
When I open a certain error, I can see which one page contains problems. Can I do a similar thing for AMP-friendly indexed pages? Because now I can see e.g. that there is 20 AMP pages indexed by Google and another 15 is not.
Q: can I see which of my AMP pages are already indexed?
You can check the appearance of you AMP-Sites in the SC. Just go to "Search Analytics" and activate the "Search Appearance" > AMP Article rich results Filter

When I open search console, it says that 4 days ago, my URL was not indexed anymore.
However, I did not change anything.
It offers "INSPECT URL" and "TEST ROBOTS.TXT BLOCKING".
I click "TEST ROBOTS.TXT BLOCKING", and it tells me that I don't have a robots.txt
I click "INSPECT URL", and it shows this:
Referring page
http://sprechcomputer.de.whoisbucket.com/
http://www.whoisbucket.com/view/sprechcomputer.de
This is the only anomaly that I can see.
These are not my domains. Is this a bug in Search Console?
What is the problem here?
Also, none of my pages are indexed, according to this screenshot:
I have duplicate content from my home page.
In Google Webmasters they tell me that I have a problem with duplicate content:
For example:
www.example.com/page1/ www.example.com/page2/ www.example.com/page2/
How can I remove it?
What that page says is not that you have duplicate pages but that you have several pages with the same meta description:
Meta descriptions are HTML attributes that provide concise summaries of webpages. They commonly appear underneath the blue clickable links in a search engine results page.
Usually each page should have their own meta description that describes its content (that is the reason why Google warns you about duplicates), but sometimes it's OK that several pages share the same description.
For example, based in your screen shot your site appears to be about mobile phones, let's say that the duplicates with 2 pages are one for the summary of the phone and the other for the technical specifications (I'm supposing as I don't understand Arabic), the meta description of both pages could be similar but not exact because it should reflect that they cover different aspects of the phone (summary vs technical spec).
On the other hand the duplicate with 14 pages appears to be several pages from a product list, maybe phones with same tag, if this is correct then it's OK that all those pages have the same meta description, as they are just parts of the same topic split into several pages.
I am using Google Custom Search to enable users to search within my website. I have one page that displays a list of references (to scientific publications) as well as other content (dynamic). I would like to display the results so that references including the search term are filtered into their own tab - but I can only see how to label a whole page, not just a section of a page. This means I can filter for 'references', but get other content in my results, not just the references. Is there a way of doing this?
Yes, its possible I suppose. And I had done it sometime back and it had worked as expected. Have a look at these links -
Tech Republic Set up Google Custom Search and

About a month ago we implemented Rich Snippets on the product detail pages for our e-commerce site (example).
We used the http://schema.org/ syntax for the structured data, as it seems to be the route Google are taking moving forward.
The data appears to be correct in the Rich Snippet Testing Tool and the data has started to appear in Google Webmaster Tools.
However the data is still to be seen on the SERP.
We have followed the rich data guide on Google to the letter and still no results. Is this a case of just waiting?
Here is an additional piece of information that is making it all the more puzzling, we initially went with a Microformats implementation and within 24 hours the data started showing up on the SERP. However we moved away from this because the Schema.org approach seemed a better bet.
I suppose it is one of the reasons explained in my Wiki post at
http://wiki.goodrelations-vocabulary.org/FFAQ#Why_is_Google_not_showing_rich_snippets_for_my_pages.3F
While that one refers to GoodRelations markup, the situation should be the same for schema.org.

If you have added GoodRelations (manually or via a shop extension module) to your shop and still do not get rich snippets in Google search results, this can have one of the following reasons:
Google has not yet re-crawled your page or pages. Google dedicates just a limited amount of crawling time to a site, depending on its global relevance. It may be that Google has simply not yet re-indexed your page. Wait 2 - 8 weeks ;-)
The markup is invalid. Try the Google Validator. If that shows a rich snippet in the preview, you may just have to wait 4 - 12 weeks until Google will notice and white-list your pages. If it does not show a rich snippet, you either do not have valid GoodRelations markup in the page, you are missing properties that Google requires (e.g. gr:validThrough for prices), the price of the item has expired, or you use markup for which Google does not show rich snippets. Currently, Google shows snippets only for products and offers.
Google cannot see that your page changed. Your XML sitemap (http://example.com/sitemap.xml or similar) does not contain a lastmod attribute or the lastmod attribute was not updated after you added GoodRelations/schema.org. This attribute is important for crawlers to notice which pages need to be reindexed.
Low ranking of your item pages. Your item pages have a low ranking and what you see in your Google results are category pages or other pages summarizing multiple items. GoodRelations shop extensions add markup only to the "deep" item pages, because those are best for rich snippets. Use the title / product name of one of your products and restrict the Google search to your site with the additional statement site:www.example.com.
I am working on a project in which i have to search for terms on a search engine and then cluster the results on their contextual sense. So i have to treat each result as a document. unfortunately, the data present along with each result on the result page is too little for clustering. Hence, I wanted to know from where the search engines get the abstract for each result that they show. If i could get that entire abstract then i can cluster the results by treating them as separate documents.
From where does google get the abstract ?
For eg: If you search for "1000 Mile" on google, the second result shows the following abstract:
"The women's 1000 Mile Collection is based on classic designs and reflects Wolverine's long heritage of crafting quality footwear. Complementing these classics ..."
This abstract is not present in the Meta tags of the page.
From where does Google find this data.
Thanks
From Does Google use the Meta Description Tag for Description of Page?
Google will choose your search results snippets from the following places (not necessarily in this order):
The page's Meta Description tag
The page's Open Directory Project (ODP) Listing
Page content relevant to the search query
If you do not want Google to use the ODP listing's description then you can tell them not to do so with the following Meta tag:
<meta name="robots" content="NOODP">
If you want to encourage Google to use your Meta Description tag then make sure it is unique to each page. Also make sure it contains an accurate description of the page's content.
In thew absence of an ODP description and Meta Description tag, Google will use a portion of the page's text as the description. This text will contain the closest matches to the search query. I have not seen any official limit to how long this can be but a couple of sentences seems about right.
On a related note, if you don't want a snippet to be shown with a particular page you can use the following Meta tag to prevent one from being shown:
<meta name="robots" content="nosnippet">
See this blog post for Google's tips on using the meta description tag.
According to this site, "The meta description should typically be at most 145 to 150 characters in length as these are the maximum number of characters typically displayed at Yahoo! and Google, respectively."
That site is Flash-based, and Google can index Flash content, so given that the snippet isn't in the HTML source of the page as you point out, nor is it in the cached version of the page, I'm guessing that it's somewhere in the Flash movie.
It's kind of arbitrary that the snippet mentions 'The women's 1000 Mile Collection' while the site link itself is to the parent category of 1000 mile, not just women's, so I'm guessing here that gathering snippet-friendly metadata from a Flash site is an imprecise science. That's my best guess.
In this Google Webmaster blog post, they explain how they use external text or HTML files loaded into the Flash movie, and in one of the comments Jonathan Simon says (sorry):
"We try our best to crawl Flash content but the results can sometimes be less than ideal. You are only seeing a title in the search results for your site because that's the only bit of HTML text that you have outside of your Flash content. You could add a Meta description element to offer more information in HTML. You could also add some other text that's not a part of your Flash content. Just doing this should improve the snippet you see associated with your site in the search results."
