Google Facing Indexing Issue With New Articles
Google confirmed the news that it is experiencing index issues of new articles in “Top Stories.”
We had an indexing issue with new articles appearing in Top Stories beginning around 3pm PT. We've now fixed this, though full restoration will likely take several hours, maybe less. We'll update when that's reached.
