We're running into an issue where when we do an internal search on our website, we're not showing a particular page (http://education.illinois.edu/faculty/mercier). We're using the Google Search tool. Doing a Google search with "site:education.illinois.edu Emma Mercier" doesn't return the page.

What we've tried:


Added the page to the sitemap and submitted the sitemap to Google Search Console.
Entered the link to Google Search Console and asked to Fetch as Google. It got a 200. I then recrawled the page and waited 24 hours.
Went to the robots.txt tester and entered the URL. It said it was allowed.
Confirmed it wasn't part of the Blocked URL list.


I realize this is a generic question (with similar yet dated questions), but I'm stumped on what else to check. Thoughts?

Your issue is duplicate content. Specifically, there is another page on the internet with substantially the same biography: csteps.illinois.edu/dr-emma-mercier/
When Google sees the same biography on two different pages, it will choose only one of them to index.
