What would make new Medium stories show up sooner on search results? Frankly, I don’t know for sure. From what data I could dig up, it looks like could take up to 1 or 2 days. (Could it be faster with a custom domain or more social shares?)
For instance, one of his stories posted on Nov 12th (around 12:00pm Pacific UTC-08 = 20:00 GMT) is crawled and cached by Google on Nov 14 00:56 GMT. The math works out to 30 hours.
