Crawling through HTML forms and Flash

Google is constantly trying new ideas to improve our coverage of the web.
In the US and UK markets, Google now scans JavaScript and Flash to discover links. That's an improvement that hasn't been implemented in Australia yet, but is expected soon.
Just to emphasize, that doesn't mean Google can retrieve content from Javascript and Flash, only the links.

Google's latest foray is with forms. The Googlebot will try a small number of queries using the form. The whole story is available on the title link. I was pleasantly surprised to see this news, and wanted to make a note to myself...

SEO/SEM in Australia is a special issue for so many reasons. Join me was we explore. It will be a fascinating and informative journey.
