Google Search Glitch Fixed as New Content and Articles Now Visible

A Google Search glitch that was preventing new website pleased from filtering into Google has seemingly been resolved. 

Earlier on Friday, Google said that it was experiencing ongoing indexing subjects preventing new content and articles from appearing in Search. Indexing is when Google takes new content published from websites and feeds it into see results. The glitch meant that recently published articles wouldn’t Go in Search when users entered queries. Google said back today that an update would come within 12 hours. Some kind of fix is now in place. Google has yet to update its Search Central Twitter feed with new information.

Before, searching for CNET or CNN articles published within the last hour needed zero results. We couldn’t find results when searching for a handful of new sites, such as Bloomberg, The New York Times and Yahoo. The same went for other search terms, apart from ads. 

Google Search was not indexing new pleased — in this example, related to the Pixel 6A.

Older pleased was still searchable.

The glitch was moving search to work in odd ways. For some sites, new articles were appearing as published hours ago when they were issued much more recently. We tried replicating the below experiment for CNET articles and it didn’t gave any results.

Google didn’t immediately respond to a Ask for comment. 

Update, 3:25 pm PT: Reflects the fact that the see issue has been resolved.
