form select list options

Does googlebot index form select list options

[richard]

We are working on an extensive web site, or rather web application, with 100% dynamic database content.
Via mod_rewrite and a dynamic set of site map pages, the site should be completely accessable by SEs.

Since users will be using select lists to select the information they are seeking, eg: category, location and so on, much of what is "key word" content, particularly on "entry" pages will be contained within these select lists.

Would the information contained within these select lists, be indexed by google and other SEs?

If not, does anybody have suggestions of how else to include this content on a page. eg: How good are meta tages as a solution?
Obviously including the content in any form of "hidden" manner is not acceptable. We also are looking to keep all pages as clear and uncluttered as possible.

We would very much appreciate it if anybody can answer out question and/or has any suggestions.

richard,

The text within the select lists will be put into the index and the keywords will be searchable, but if you have links in the select lists I don't know that they'll be followed.

NickCoons,

Thanks very much.
We are also linking either via onChange or submit to the selected option(s).
We are aware that no SE will be able to follow these types of links, and are therefore including on all pages a link to a multi-tiered, dynamically generated site map. Although this is being structured in such a way, that it will be meaningful to humans, its essentially only intended for SEs, humans being better served via the select lists and other search types of options.
