Matt Cutts shares his own personal experience of how quickly documents can get indexed in Google in a post called Minty fresh index.
"I saw a message that there was an update to Reader’s code for offline reading (Google Gears). In my experience, if I move on the the next feed, I lose that little message with the link to update the code (not sure why, but that’s a different post). So I click the link and update my code for offline reading. In the process, I lost the post that I was currently reading, which was Rich Skrenta’s post about Persai. I wasn’t done reading the post, so what do I do? I go to Google and search for [skrenta blog] so that I can find Skrenta’s blog and finish reading the post.
And what did I see in my search results? The snippet from Skrenta’s blog was showing the post that he did at 7:54 p.m. Pacific time. It was about 8:44 p.m. Pacific time when I did the search. So from Rich hitting the “Post†button to me being able to see it in Google’s main search index was well under an hour."
Matt calling it a " a minty fresh index" and went ahead to say "It takes a lot of good design and infrastructure to be able to refresh large numbers of pages that fast. Congrats to the Googlers who are improving Google’s ability to re-crawl, index, and score web documents quickly."
Apparently, the very post you are reading was indexed within 30 minutes time. However, many users say that blogs take a shorter time to get indexed than others. Now, the question is how long before Google accomplishes real time indexing.
