Google's Indexing Speed, Wow!
According to Google representative Matt Cutts, the search engine giant is now providing "Minty Fresh Indexing"! In other words, optimized content and documents on a website can now show up in a few minutes as opposed to a few days, depending on popularity.
Google continues to revolutionize search by not only incorporating a polling system that requires the crawlers to go out and discover new content on their own (rather than having to be notified of changed content), but to have such a fast indexing speed that it's almost real-time. Google's ultimate goal is to have instant indexing; meaning content would be indexed as it is created.
