Hi,
When I try to search for my own hubs in the search box on this site, I don't see them appearing in the search results.
How long does it take for the hubpages.com crawler to index your hubs?
I'm not too sure about that but I wouldn't worry - that's fairly immaterial.
What you should be asking is "How long before google indexes my hubs and sends me search engine traffic?"
And the answer is... it depends on your topic and keywords.
Search engine traffic is the traffic that brings money, so you need to learn how to write for it...
I agree with prettydarkhorse...search the exact title. You can search it on Google search (remember the SEO thing?). If your title appears at the first page of the search, then, you're lucky. Good luck!
Although the question was about hubpages.com internal search and while I did search for my exact title, I noticed Google hasn't indexed me yet too so I guess hubpages relies on Google for search.
Peter - sometimes it takes a little longer to find certain hubs than others. When I wrote my first handful of hubs, it took a bit. Add some RSS feeds in your hubs of your other hubs and submit your RSS feed (on your profile) to a few RSS sites. It will be much quicker. Another thing is that sometimes Google finds pages but doesn't immediately cache them (index)so just keep writing hubs and do what I said above and then your hubs will get indexed faster. You can also social bookmark your hubs on some sites too to get them indexed quick. Reddit.com and a few others help.

There have been several theories about what content Google is penalising and rewarding in the search results but at the moment it does seem a bit random (from my end). Let's compare notes and hopefully we can see some common threads in there. What content of yours is holding on to its ranking and...

Today we're changing the internal search engine on HubPages to run Google Custom Search. We know that search on HubPages didn't always work as intended, and we expect Google to ultimately provide more relevant results for both Hubbers and visitors using the site. The new search feature should not...

Do you think the new hubpages format will help us writers here, or hurt us over time.Please explain why you think so, whatever the case may be. Heck make a powerfully expressive hub about it, if it floats your boat. (Does this spell more or less revenue for us long term, try to give it your best...

Do you have any hubs where your Yahoo search traffic is more that all the Google searches combined (thats Google with different domains (TLDs))? I have a few, although not many.
