I run a website that duplicates some content across international editions. These are differentiated by the country codes e.g.


/uk/folder/article1/
/au/folder/article1/


The UK version is considered the origin of the content.

Recently the UK version of a specific article is being indexed by Google as I am able to access via keyword search, however when I try to search for it via:
site:domain.com/uk/folder/article1/ then it is not displaying, however the AU version is. Identical articles in the same folder are not having this issue.

There are no errors within webmaster tools and I have recently refetched the specific URL.

The main reason why this is problematic is because the article is now no longer appearing on the UK edition of the site for internal site search.

How can I find out why Google is not getting a result when the URL is entered but it is coming up when doing a specific keyword search?
