I currently run an informational site, which is around 700 pages. All of the pages are in the root, no sub directories. I am looking to greatly expand the site by adding tons and tons of references. My question is, if I organize all of the reference pages under a sub directory (ex. www.widgets/blue-widgets) is this going to make it seem less important to the search engines?
My main goal is to setup a google search box and have users search just that part of the site for specific reference materials. I don't want this search to bring up other pages from my site.
I would really appreciate your insight and advice!
Have a great day,
Matt

not, it isn't. SEs don't "look" the "hierarchy" but only good and rich contents.

Just selectively excluding uninteresting pages by the indexing.
