Default Re: Flash lovers rejoice – Google, Yahoo inks deal with Adobe to make Flash searchabl

I saw certain websites that were already indexed with flash. However, I think it will take at least another three years before search engines can index flash sites in a way that is friendly to human users.

For example, I saw search results wherein google indexed the swf file instead of the page where this swf file is embedded.

Moreover, from academic perspective, it is difficult to site pure flash sites as references. I still prefer the traditional setup wherein one URL = one page. It's awkward to site reference as "http://domain.com/blahblah.htm then click on this link in the flash site."
