Has Google visited my yahoo store yet?

This is the question which I and my clients ask very often to ourselves.
It gets worse when we are not able to see our yahoo store specific keywords showing up in google searches.

Not everyone knows that Google offers a date-based syntax, which you can access via the advanced search, which limits your time options, or the daterange: syntax, which uses Julian dates and is a bit difficult to use.

Here is a way to tell whether the googlebot ( google crawler/spider) picked up any content from your yahoo store today, yesterday, within the last seven days, or last 30 days.
