No, shortened URL's will not appear in the search results.

The content will.

Google won't necessarily index your content, but using Google's URL shortener will ping the content, likely resulting in a crawl.

If you setup the page correctly, you can almost definitely keep the page from being indexed.

As a quick note of clarification: Google indexes content based on other pages linking to that content. Google crawls through the web and looks for links that have never been seen before. It is my understanding that if a URL shortened by Google has never been seen before, it will behave similarly to a new link. It doesn't add any SEO value, but Google bot will probably visit your site, simply because it is new content.

I sometimes get my pages indexed faster by sharing them on Google+, because I know it pings the content, resulting in a crawl.

Just go to bitly.com and enter the full URL in the box at the top right of the screen. Click "Shorten" and you'll be taken to a page with your new shorter URL. That's it! Now just click the Copy button and then go to wherever you want to use it and paste it in.

Hi Friends,
Requesting what's found at a shortend URL, results in a response which is a redirect. bit.ly URLs are HTTP 301 permanent redirects. In essence, there is inherently never any content served out from such an URL, and thus permanently never anything to index there. The final destination (typically a webpage), responding with a HTTP 200 OK, will obviously be indexed in exactly same manner as any other resources are.
