I submitted an updated sitemap via Google Webmaster and I want Google to rescan URLs in it, as some of them are not yet found in Custom Search. I found an instruction for for CSE support.google.com/customsearch/answer/115959 but this seems to be obsolete as this functionality has moved to Webmaster Tools, but I can't find it anywhere. Just to clarify, I already refreshed a sitemap, I want to ask Google to index the URLs in it.

update

yesterday I submitted my main page to index (using fetch as Googlebot) with all its links, including "newest entities" section. today all these links are searchable with CSE. they were searching just fine with regular Google search (using "site: mydomain.tld" filter). so I'm guessing my problem is not with Google indexing per se, but rather Custom Search Engine.
previously CSE had an option to rescan an entire sitemap (please see a link above). this feature seems to be moved to Webmaster Tools. does somebody know if this feature is still available and how to call it?

You can't ask crawler the frequency with which it should crawl your page. Though you can define the change frequency in your sitemap but that too does not ensure any defined behavior.

Suppose your sitemap had 100 links and not it has 200 links. The crawling of delta of these links depends on the actual content change on your pages, the domain authority of your site and lot of other factors.

But the one of the most important is the content change frequency. If you have some dynamic crawlable content or user generated content on your pages, it has a very high probability of getting crawled with a high frequency.

For now you can manually submit links within your defined quota through webmaster tool and wait for the pages to get indexed.
