I rather immediately decided to see if this had been posted before. Google indexed this comment within 2 minutes.

This site uses the google custom search (see sidebar), and it provides a feature for on-demand indexing. I suppose it shares the index it makes with google proper.

So far, this has been a failure -- the test string still isn't found by google, and the previous post doesn't even show up in the custom search yet.

Had to stop polling because google now thinks I'm a bot.

I found the posting easily enough by searching "google custom search lesswrong". Try your experiment again using a shorter string.

Imagine my surprise when I once added a reference to a Wikipedia and 20 seconds later googled it to see whether I missed anything - and that WP article was prominent in the hits.

Google does seem to love this site! (I wonder if Google has specialised technology in place for handling reddit based sites.)
