Google beta testing a real-time indexing API

Richard Gingras from Google in a talk he just gave at Google I/O named Search and the mobile content ecosystem said that Google is testing a real-time indexing API.

Google can then surface that content to searchers immediately, in real-time, without any delay.

Here is a photo of what real-time results look like with the API:
