google indexing of forum - lag or gaps?

04 Feb 2022, 06:01

Google Search indexing of the AHK forums seems to lag behind or have gaps? I noticed it just now but not sure if a recent change or even if this is unusual. My impression is that Google search used to be very good at finding even very recently created posts in this forum.

For example try to google search site:www.autohotkey.com halmak which when I try it does not find this 31 January post with the word halmak in title.

Neither does
site:autohotkey.com halmak
site:www.autohotkey.com/boards halmak
and some other variants

Perhaps a Google issue rather than a forum issue? Unless there is some change that trips up Google's spider.

There some things we can do with the google web console or wtv, but not sure what to change so for cases like these.. :think:

Well the news is that it used to at least work better/less bad.
