    Simple question: visibility:hidden & display:none

    I want to embed content in pages using visibility:hidden and display:none css tags to hide content from a human, but machine searchable via Zoom Search's cgi OpenSearch. So, I am wondering if the spider will index the contents of these sorts of hidden elements on a page and subsequently make them available for searches. The above sounds counter-intuitive, but there are some specific elements I want searchable via cgi OpenSearch for machine-readable content that are not necessary for human-readable content....think of global unique identifiers like LSIDs (life science identifiers), which are intended for machines.

    Yes, Zoom will index content which has been "hidden" via CSS visibility/display attributes.
