actually boobs it's not. adobe supplied google with a new app/plugin that will allow flash sites to become searchable.
but.
it means a rethink when designing flash sites. it means that all content will need to be left as text - not outlined - which is a common approach in flash. it also means that navigation and menu systems need to be built certain ways to allow the search filter to do it's magic. obviously the ability to use XML for advanced navigation is a great plus, but a lot of flash developers i know still aren't up to that level. shit, look how many HTML web developers still use tables and antiquated building methods that lose searchability.
it's pretty exciting news for flash development but we're not quite there yet i don't think.

- true but it's still an issue to the less informed developer.airey
