Hrm.  I personally wouldn't point any search engine at the WebUI; theres
too many links to follow that would produce needless overhead on the WebUI
server, and it is possible to show the same information through multiple
links.  Ugh.

As I remember it, you can tell ht/dig that 'this' URL is where it should
go to to index stuff, and 'that' URL is where it should tell people where
it came from.  So, you can take Ticket/Display.html and a specific example
queue index page, and produce a special cut-down version for ht/dig so it
just indexes the ticket data, and not the other fluff that the WebUI has.
