Google adds Flash to search tools - vnunet.com

Google adds Flash to search tools - vnunet.com: "Google has announced that users will now be able to index and search Flash media files.

The company has added the code into its indexing algorithm which will allow its indexing bots to gather text from the SWF files used to present Flash content.
Google users will be able to search through code contained within the Flash file itself, as well as Flash banners, buttons and menus"

Will be very interested in how well this works....given that "Images will not be indexed by the software, and Flash files which rely on JavaScript will not be accessed by the search tools."
