ajax-solr: How to make an ajax page readable by Google?

I am using ajax-solr to generate search results from Solr.

Is there any way to make such an ajax page available to Google (and search engines in general) for indexing?

Thanks.

Solution

  • Not sure how this maps to ajax-solr specifically, but take a look at "Making AJAX Applications Crawlable", it explains how googlebot can crawl and index ajax websites.

    Still, I think the safest way is to implement graceful degradation of ajax functions, unfortunately I don't think this is doable in a pure ajax-solr site.
