When you say "support", what do you mean?
I think Matt may have read this as "is static text in a Flex SWF read by
search engines", and results are mixed here... some engines definitely
read it, as you can prove at Google by searching on "checkout
filetype:swf" or similar terms.
But if you're looking to offer local search within your own work, then a
lot depends on whether your text is stored in the SWF or in a database
or web service, what type of interface you'd like to display results in,
etc.
Or if you're looking to issue a standard web search from within a Flex
presentation, then that can be as easy as constructing an URL.
When you say "support", what do you mean? If you'd like to offer a
search form within your presentation, then what would you like it to
search...?
