Comment (by fabricecanel):

 Thanks @Clorith for restoring this feature request.\\

 Links: Today, we offer an [https://blogs.bing.com/webmaster/july-2020/Get-
 your-WordPress-content-indexed-immediately-using-Bing-Webmaster-Tools-
 plugin open source WordPress Plugin] connected to such
 [https://www.bing.com/webmasters/url-submission-api Bing Webmaster Tools
 API] to notify Bing about content change for site adopting this API.\\

 @joostdevalk: We are proposing a shift:
 * **From pulling to pushing**: it’s not about pulling (RSS feeds or
 similar), it’s about pushing, publishing each change, with some throttling
 logic as already done in Bing Webmaster Tools WordPress plugin, to avoid
 notification on every keystroke, every 5 seconds save,  to the set of
 search engines having adopted this design open to all search engines and
 listening to change.  Pulling requires crawling, crawling, and crawling
 again to check if the content has changed (most of the times the content
 didn’t change), Pulling required also at the first place discovering the
 site and feeds. Pushing enables search engines to be seconds to minutes
 behind content change and guaranty that search engines are aware of the
 change and minimize the need of crawling to discover if something has
 changed. In case of downtime, search engines will still rely on sitemaps
 and links to discover news URLs.
 * **Open to all search engines**: Search Engines having an API can be
 added to the notification.
 * **Enabled by default**:  We want to lower the complexity for WordPress
 users to be found and indexed by search engines. If you are a newbie, your
 new site should be immediately found and indexed, your latest content and
 your latest typo fixed should be indexed in minutes… not in weeks. \\

 **Benefits**: new sites indexed fast, latest content indexed fast, content
 removed drained fast from search engines... then far less far crawl done
 by search engines to discover if web sites have changed… which is good for
 site owners, WordPress platform owners, global warming and polar bears.
