Peter Would it help any for the search engines to be able to search all thread content? The reason I ask is that when I was searching, before I became a member of WTB, I had been Googling either Simplicity or Snapper (can't remember which) and that is how I stumbled across WTB. Same when I've been doing other searches on Google....searched by a word and forum posts from a variety of forums have come up related to that word. Just an  Paula *Edited to attempt to speak English...

Peter A couple of questions for you. If the search Engines, such as Google, can pick up the content of forums, why would there need to be separate categories? Wouldn't it pick up the word out of forum content, bring up the forum, thus giving the internet user the option of searching the site, using the search option in the upper right corner? Also, what determines what order the forums (strictly speaking forums here) are brought up on the search engines? Is it how many matching words there are? Or alphabetical order of website name? Sorry if you answered this only already and I didn't catch it. Paula

Certainly, the search engines would look at the text and virtually ignore the icons. That's not the purpose of the icons, however. They are for the humans who actually arrive on the site to have an easier time finding what they came for.
There are literally thousands of things that can alter a sites placement in search results. Amount, and density, or matching keywords is certainly among those thousands of things. You have to understand, this is a whole profession, that takes lots of people working full time to make a site place well in search engines. You better believe we have people here dedicated solely to that task and any clever Web developer would be able to recognize some rudementary things happening here that weren't happening over at WTB.
