To see if you are indexed just search for your domain name. If you appear then you are indexed.

To check to see how you rank requires doing searches for terms you expect to be ranked for and then see if you appear. Of course, you may not rank well and thus not find your pages being listed. That just means your pages rank poorly. See this question for tools to help automate this process.

This can be refined a little, for Google at least. If you do a site search ie. site:example.com, results will be limited to only your domain, which also gives you a rough idea how much of it they're getting. A raw search for the domain name will just pull in any references to it, which is also perfectly useful, depending what you're looking for. – Su' Apr 21 '11 at 9:07

Google Webmaster Tools allow you to see specifically what is being indexed on your site, when, and what the results are.
