Primary Publisher(s) seem to be unlisted...

Would someone please do me a favor and do a Basic SEARCH on publishers? (NO filters, shows 192 publishers.) I do this and neither MACMILLAN nor St. Martin's (a huge division of Mac in its own right) show in the results. I don't want to bother our esteemed Admin/SysOp unless this is confirmed.
Thanks!

The major publishing houses aren't listed because they don't take queries directly from authors. They only deal with agents. If I missed an imprint that does take queries direct please let me know.

Are the publishers in that list essentially open to authors directly? Ooooh I never knew that

jonny_555: It's case by case. Here's a very small listing. As this article isn't dated, I can't vouch for it. Take it with 5 grains of salt, one for each of the BIG 5.....
