- aeyes 6y agoBut if the index doesn't update you won't notice.
- derefr 6y agoYeah, search isn’t an OLTP system.
- DarthGhandi 6y agoOfftopic, but it blows my mind seeing <1 min old StackOverflow comments indexed by Google search, the sheer amount of work going on behind the scenes to make that happen.
- Polylactic_acid 6y agoI'm pretty sure this only happens when the site is actively pushing updates to google via their webmaster tools. I think your sites importance would also impact how fast google indexes it.
- judge2020 6y agoDidn't realize this was a thing: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/submit-URLs https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/submit-URLs Although I'm not sure if this is what stack exchange actually uses or if there's some private API for big partners.
- jeffbee 6y agoI pretty strongly doubt that the arrival rate of new docs at search is an order of magnitude greater than that at Gmail.
