The first time I did your suggested search it picked up this post, but not the sysread post. Now it gets the sysread post too so that is impressive. I’ll have to see how quickly it picks up my next post.

@Sam – Okay, I *am* surprised that it isn’t related to the notification mechanism. Perhaps your site is popular enough to get a frequent shallow index which would pick up new posts.

Or (possibly a crazy theory here), maybe so many sites are driven by frameworks that notify google that google takes special note of those that don’t notify it and scan them more frequently.

For my Perl blog you could say that’s being picked up from links in the Ironman stream, but new content elsewhere on the site gets picked up just as quick.

Changes to existing pages can take months to get updated, but new ones… well it’s eerie how fast Google finds stuff.
