Adobe, Google, Yahoo enabling Flash searches

The project would allow Flash pages to be returned in a search, meaning millions of rich Internet applications will become searchable.

Adobe has created a special Flash player for the search engines that acts like a virtual user going through each application. It actually goes through the runtime of each Flash application and translates it into something the search engines can understand. So all of those fancy interactive Flash Websites and other rich Internet applications that have been invisible to search engines, can now be seen by them.
