Adobe enables better Flash search

People relying on search engine optimisation may be interested to hear that Adobe has created Ichabod, a technology which aids search engines to better index AJAX Flash content, it has been noted.

According to Info World, the tool was previously released by Google and now Adobe is working on a similar system with Yahoo!.

Chief technical officer of Adobe Kevin Lynch told the AJAXWorld RIA Conference and Expo in San Jose: "As people are starting to build AJAX apps, the content is getting more opaque. It's getting harder to find with the search engine. You need to be able to still get to that information as a user."

He added that the company had worked on enabling the Flash Player to run on the indexing engines at the search engine companies but noted that the technology was still at an early stage.

Meanwhile, Adobe has also announced that the system will enhance search engine indexing of Flash file formats to uncover information that currently is undiscoverable.
