2 minutes later, it's there. This is a very obscure phrase that no one else ever uses. ... hackerne.ws/item?id=973578 - 1 minute ago

  Damn.

  Going even further off-topic, the sheer speed of Google's updates is one reason why I have felt that the pain-point of "real-time search" is overrated.

    If you were able to sort the results by "last updated" then I might agree, but AFAIK you can't. With Twitter Search you can easily see the most recent results first.

      You can sort by date in a google search. Click on "Show Options" just below the search field, and about 15 lines down in the left bar, "Sorted By Date." I think it's a fairly recent feature, but it's there.

    There's a difference between searching for a unique phrase (the document is the only exemplar, therefore it ranks #1) and searching for the best page on a breaking topic. That said, it's not clear to me that humanity actually needs real-time search. Maybe there's some advertising value in winning the race to be #1 for "hudson plane crash" but is there really a business here?

  That the hackerne.ws domain is what gets indexed is so fucking ridiculous: 1) Some cretin camped on a domain and didn't have the courtesy to do a 301 2) PG is an asshole and ignores the Host header. HTTP/1.1 was a decade ago! 3) Google is a jackass and prefers a low-pagerank domain. Maybe some asshat used Feedburner to proxy RSS via that domain?

    That domain is no longer the one indexed. It knows.
