Does Bing(and Yahoo)Crawl AJAX Based Content?

[imiJoe]

I found this article and Bing appeared to at this time have a checkbox for the option for AJAX handling although looking at the Bing Webmaster Tools it doesnt appear that this option is available.

Has it just been completely integrated now, relieving webmaster from needing to check the option or is it no longer supported?

Hi Brandon,

This is a great question, and one I too cannot find a straight answer for either. I found that article you reference as well, and wasn't able to find the enable option either. If I had to guess, I'd say no - they don't know how to handle it. My site was recently changed to integrate an AJAX based search product at our category page level. The url structures and server responses are designed to Google's standards regarding AJAX crawl ability, but our rankings on these category pages have basically disappeared in Bing/Hoo. The underlying HTML is full of crawlable links as well to compensate. Hopefully someone chimes in with an answer.
