Are you trying to make it searchable to attract paying members or something?
If you're just trying to make it easy for the existing members, why not use
Verity or something similar to index and search them?

: The former was definitely a concern. and the latter is now a concern as
: well, until Critz suggested it, I hadn't thought of the user agent angle.

: I'm wondering if I couldn't offer a search engine page (using

: to expose the searchable data and markup. But don't give all the extra's
: and prettiness. Then theoretically the cached version would be a

: Might I point out that Google, for one, caches the contents of

: Also, if someone wanted in, it's not that hard to (for example) hack the
: Mozilla source to report a different agent ID.
