But, as I recall, there's a delay between the time a listing is inserted by the editor to the time when the listings become available to the search function. I believe this delay is from hours to about a month, depending on when the site is added, within the dmoz operations cycle.

And then a further delay, as far as the google directory is concerned, before google recognizes the site as being listed in the directory.

I would say the internal dmoz delay averages about a month, the google directory delay can be three months.

But it's been a while since I really researched dmoz, so don't shoot me if I'm wrong. ;-}

Tons of thanks Bill for your fast and accurate reply! |cool|
