Text in Accordian - Will Google Crwal

We have a lot of information on our site and wanted to know if Google would still read all the text even if we have it in an accordion affect.  We would have a place to click on to read more for the site viewer.

The google will definitely crawl the text in the accordian. You can post special weblink for a further scrutiny. If your read more is on the same page there should not be a problem. You have to be though careful about your settings about what to index and what not to

In 2013 we moved a lot of information that was already visibly published on some pages into accordion-style content.  Traffic into those pages from search engines dropped significantly.  In 2014 we decided that accordion content was not working for us so we made that information visible again.  Traffic climbed slowly back to good levels.   So, I have sworn a strong oath not to use accordion content ever again.

Google stated last year that they render pages as a normal user would. So if content is initially hidden in an accordion, Google may asses a value less than if it wasn't hidden in the first place. This also assumes that the hidden content has been crawled and indexed. Thoughts?
