: Is content in option tags indexed? Is data inside an <option> tag indexed? For example, would the following option tag allow "Volvo", "Saab", "Opel" and "Audi" to be indexed by a crawler?

How could you delete my answer. Tags are indexed by Google and if we block them by robot.txt, then they can't be indexed. Otherwise tags, categories are always indexed. Hope this discussion will help you: productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/webmasters/zWj1mo4_nyU
See another example: geek-freemarketing.com/tag/blogging-headlines# webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&q=cache%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fgeek-freemarketing.com%2Ftag%2Fblogging-headlines%23
So tags are indexed. Please don't delete answers and before that at least once send an alert, so that we can edit our answers.

What do you mean by inside a tag? What type of tag? Do you mean options such as radio groups or check boxes and their labels? If you mean the text displayed next to these options in forms and such the answer is yes they'll be indexed. All text which you can see in your browser along with some other attributes such as alt in image tags etc are also taken into consideration when indexing a page.
