sometimes a term in a page does exist in google indices, but you can't extract this page from google servers by running a google search with this term. any ideas?
for instance, an uncommon term A exists in page B, when you run a google search with A, there are less than 50 results where you can't find page B in the results set.
why does this happen?

term A is not a stopword.

this page is indexed by google. i can use cache:TheUrlOfPageB to confirm this.

Well, IF B is indexed in Google, there are a few possibilities:
One is that Google thinks that some of the page results are redundant (more than one page with same content).
Another reason is that the term you used might be one of those overused words that Google Search ignores (ie if, the, a...).
Failing those, perhaps the page is not indexed.
Outside of that, Google does not publish its search algorithm so who, outside Google would know? And inside Google, it's confidential/proprietary, so they can't tell. :-(

For some reason or another, Google doesn't seem to be indexing page B by term A (as you assume, with no evidence). Why this is the case is anyones guess - Google isn't just a straightforward database, it has to be highly optimised to work as well as it does, and who knows what it might be doing to achieve this level of optimisation. I reckon you can say one thing for sure - it's no bug! lol
