AJAX World 2008 West Round-Up: Flash Search Boosted by Adobe's Ichabod

Ichabod is a "headless" Flash Player - i.e. a Flash Player without a UI

“As people are starting to build AJAX apps, the content is getting more opaque,” said Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch during his keynote address at the 6th International AJAXWorld RIA Conference & Expo earlier this week in San Jose, California. “It’s getting harder to find things with search engines. You need to be able to still get to that information as a user,” Lynch added and mentioned a technology developed by Adobe called “Ichabod” - which has already been released to Google, who use it in its indexing engines to search Flash content.
