secunded wholeheartedly
sometimes it takes many days for google to index a
page. If you look for it, and do not exactly remember
the title, you are doomed.

I agree with Brion's statement.

But my experience with Google has been that it's very good for finding old pages. It's especially good at finding mispelled ones. For finding new ones, "many days" is generous... several weeks is my experience.
