Bing and Yandex are getting started with a new protocol for indexations calle IndexNow, that let you submit URLs to index from a standard url for every search engine (bing.com/indexnow and yandex/indexnow). You can submit up to 10000 URLs for every request of indexing and just need to prove you're the owner and submit your personal API-key that you can generate there.
The official source says "
The official articles are at https://www.indexnow.org/documentation (the official website of that standard/protocol) and https://www.bing.com/indexnow and https://yandex.com/indexnow
They also shared in the FAQ of Indexnow.org that you can also submit 404 pages and redirects (301, 302 and so on) in order to notify search engines about the dead links and the redirections.
Funny enough Bing and Yandex, that have a realtively small piece of search traffic, can do something more useful than a huge search engine like Google, that only managed to fuck up titles with the Title update and don't give clear info about anything.
Let's hope that someday also Google will do something similar
The structure of the indexing request with IndexNow is
The official source says "
Code:
With IndexNow, search engines know immediately the "URLs that have changed, helping them prioritize crawl for these URLs and thereby limiting organic crawling to discover new content."
IndexNow is offered under the terms of the Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons License and has support from Microsoft Bing, Yandex."
