Octopress, github pages, CNAME domain and google website search

Question

My blog was successfully transferred to octopress and github-pages. My problem though is that website's search uses google search but the result of 'search' as you can see, are pointing to the old (wordpress) links. Now these links have change structure, following default octopress structure.

I don't understand why this is happening. Is it possible for google to have stored in it's DB the old links (my blog was 1st page for some searches, but gathered just 3.000 hits / month... not much by internet's standards) and this will change with time, or is it something I'm able to change somehow?

thanks.

1.You can wait for Google to crawl and re-index your pages, or you can use the URL Removal Request tool to expedite removal of old pages from the index. http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=61062
According to that page, the removal process "usually takes 3-5 business days."

2.Perhaps your company might consider the Google Mini? You could set up the Mini to crawl the site every night or even 'continuously'.

According to the US pricing page, the Mini currently starts at $1995 for a 50,000-document license with a year of support.
