see freshly deprecated https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/
Implementation improves parsing of the homepage (ajax page) which uses metatag "fragment" in header and parses supplied html snapshot instead of mostly empty ajax/scripted page.
Implementation supports also hash-bang urls (url with anchor starting with ! like ...path#!hashfragment) but our crawler filters it
(use of hash-bang is controversly discussed and proposal is deprecated, makes no sense to adjust the crawler, but as long as it is used by some sites the minor change/improvement in htmlparser is good for some time).
Quick - how does it work
- if metatag fragment with content "!" is found
- htmlparser tries to get content of htmls snapshot (using a different url)
- htmlparser returns 2 documents (original url and snapshot content - but using same original url)
- after parsing result documents are joined (and stored to index containing content also from snapshot page... as the original ajax page contains typically no parseable html content)
}else{// head tag fragment only allowed on url without anchor hashfragment, but there are discussions that existence of hashfragment anchor takes preference (means allow both)
