Is Simple Machines Forums searchable by search engines?

Hello everyone.

I am considering using this software package on my website and would like a forum that can be indexed by the search engines webcrawlers. Do you know if Simple Machines Forums is searchable by search engines?

Thanks,

CAL

Give it time, you will see the difference, especially if you have something like Awstats, youll see a difference if your a smaller site.
