Can Search Engines understand flash atleast Google does

Normally people dump the choice of Flash as a platform for some reasons such as Search Engine Visibility , Usability , Plugins etc.

I was surprised to find that Google reads text inside flash swf movies

Follow these steps to find out how

1. goto http://www.google.com/search?q=filetype%3Aswf
2. i landed on http://www.siderpiemonte.it/index.swf
3. unforturnately its a non–english (italian) website
4. giorgio vercelli is a text inside the flash movie
5. now i go to google and type giorgio vercelli
6. I can see www.siderpiemonte.it/index.swf in the search results with the term “giorgio vercelli “ highlighted

Is it not great ? Soon RIAs using flash will be a common place if search engines can read flash movies

note : I thought google reads only the first frame so I clicked on a button which took me to some other frame .

Now google for rete elettrosaldata listino extra 2002

I can see www.siderpiemonte.it/index.swf in the search results

Aint this cool ?
