You can now use Google search to find SVG documents.
SVG
is an open, XML-based format for vector graphics with support for interactive elements. We're big
fans of open standards, and our mission is to organize the world's information, so indexing SVG
is a natural step.
We index SVG content whether it is in a standalone file or embedded directly in HTML. The web is
big, so it may take some time before we crawl and index most SVG files, but as of today you may
start seeing them in your search results. If you want to see it yourself, try searching for
sitemap site:fastsvg.com
or
HideShow site:svg-whiz.com.
