On Friday, CNET noted that any articles (or any other type of content) posted by news outlets recently aren’t showing up in the Google Search results. Be it Bloomberg, Yahoo, New York Times, or any other publication, any content posted in the last few hours isn’t indexed by Google yet.
Or, in some cases, they’re showing up as posted a while back. Google Search, through it’s Twitter handle, shared that it’s facing some “indexing issues” that are “preventing new content and articles from appearing in Search.”
