Indexing issues keep Google Search from Showing New Content

Arpatech Aug 09, 2019

Some new content through the Web is not appearing in search results as Google is confronting problems related to index today. For instance, a quick glance at the Top Stories in Google News reveals that some of the stories are from the last few hours, but many are from yesterday. The issues were first reported by Search Engine Land.

On Thursday, the company established that it was reviewing reports of indexing problems, later adding that it was seeing “issues in the URL Inspection tool within Search Console.”

According to Google, the URL problem was rectified as of 11:41AM ET, but no update has been provided on indexing. Google announced that it is working to fix the issue.

To find new text to display users, Google is continually crawling the internet. When Google undergoes issues with indexing, like it does today, search results won’t be as accurate as users expect from tech behemoth.

Of late, Google has faced a slew of indexing issues, including problems that lasted for a week in April and more than three days in May.
