Default Inner pages vs. index page

I have noticed that the three major search engines differ in pages returned from the same site for the same search term. I have optimized the site http://www.photosbylisa.ca/ for terms having to do with "baby photography london ontario" and "maternity photography london ontario". MSN, Yahoo!, and Google all return a different page for the same search term. Is there a method to include all content from all pages into one result.... namely the index page? Or will this happen automatically as all content is indexed?

It appears you have the same content for the index page and the gallery page. Making your content unique on each page will eliminate this problem. I would look at your traffic and conversions to decide what to change. For example, if most of your traffic is coming from Google, leave your index page as is and put new content on the gallery page. Maybe talking about different styles of pictures or something.

You'll normally want to target 2-3 unique terms on each page.

site: operators for all thee search engines never show you the total number of pages they have index. Hopefully this will be something they change in the future, but right now consider search operators from the engines as inaccurate.

What keyword you are using in your meta description tag, I think some search engines
consider it while other does not hence you must be getting different results at different search engines.

It's better the index page, and when visitors come to your main page, your inner page will attract them go deep.
