    Google, Yahoo and Adobe to make flash search engine friendly

    http://www.internetnews.com/search/a...Searchable.htm

    Interesting article.

    Adobe Systems has teamed up with Google and Yahoo to make content mixed with its Flash file format easier to index. The software maker predicts a big impact on how and what pages are sorted in the rankings of those search engines. Just give it some time.

    The good news for everyone who has added Flash .SWF files to their page is they don't have to make any chances to the page code at all. The work will be handled by the spider programs from Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO) that crawl Web sites.

    For end users, it means more relevant search results, according to Justin Everett-Church, senior product manager for Flash at Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE). "The perfect page for you may have been out there, but it was all Flash content, so it had low search ranking. This will mean it will have a high ranking."

    The problem for search engines finding Flash-based pages is due to the dynamic nature of Flash, and pretty much any Web runtime, said Everett-Church. A HTML file is a flat file with links, while a Flash .SWF file has various states. Based on user interaction, you could go to different parts of the Flash (define) file.
