OK got a question dont know how to say this exactly but hmm. A customer that has a filemaker inventory section on their site you basically search on a type of product like truck or jeep or whatever. You then pick the one you want to see and view it.

OK the problem is that hows a search engine see the final item detail page? they cant right? So if a customer looks for a 94 Jeep this site doesnt show up.

Any one have any bright ideas?

If I am way off tell me but I would like to know.

One option would be to have FileMaker generate the static index page of the site, drawing values from the database and populating the META Keywords tag on the index page.

The only problem with this "solution" is that it is not dynamic; every time a new product is added to the database the index page would have to be rebuilt. However, this could be a matter of simply running the Index Page Generator script remotely (or scheduled, using a plug-in).

Yea that came to mind... does the meta tag for bots telling the bot to follow every link and index every link work for this type of situation? Or not for every type of bot and then not all search sites are engines but directories like Yahoo...:
