If I were to do a Google search on "Youbetoobedobeedo", it would probably bring me to this thread, How does Google do that? Do they have a copy of everything on their servers????

In a nutshell, yes.

They use a crawler (software) that "reads" these pages and "indexes" them.

The index is simply a dictionary that contains the words found on a page, and the order in which the words occur.

That is really an oversimplification. Engines like Google also track other stuff like how many other pages link to a page here, so they can provide search results from popular pages, first.

But you get the idea.

It takes a little while for it to get added to the index.

And it is possible that Google will see the word as an unacceptable contraction of many English words. But it might add it.

I've noticed bt3central gets indexed pretty rapidly. Often within an hour or less.

I tried about 6 hours later and no luck.

More precisely "not yet".

Google has "web crawlers" that go out and crawl the web during low utilization times (late at night, etc.) They eventually travel to every page. The algorithms are a bit more sophisticated than that, so more popular pages are crawled first.

As a result, for a low utilization site like this (e.g. BT3 utilization is much, much less than yahoo.com, for example) it may take several days to make it into google's search database.
