    Google Crawls Flash


    Mountain View-based Google said Monday afternoon that the firm has begun indexing text content in Flash. Flash, the multimedia software from Adobe, is used heavily on web sites for adding animation and graphics. Google said it has integrated Adobe's Flash Player technology to improve its Flash indexing; the firm said the addition will help web designers to improve the visibility of their published Flash content, as well as better search results and snippets. The changes are particularly useful for web sites which have used Flash for menus, navigation, and buttons.
