Time for Google to find a Wikipedia article
How long does it take google to normally track/find an new Wikipedia article? It is extremely common to do a google search and have a Wikipedia article as the number 1 or number 2 search result. But, what is the average time for google to start tracking a new Wikipedia article? Elijahandskip (talk) 15:13, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Articles I've written have turned up in Google searches the next day (though I've never checked for smaller time increments). For some of the niceties, see Controlling search engine indexing. Deor (talk) 18:18, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
