Hello,

Does anyone know whether using a transparent overlay affects the 
searchability of a page? Does everything under the overlay (that also 
does not function) get lost from the perspective of the robots? Should I 
be putting the H1 tag on top of the overlay?

The search box for the site in question only picks up the PDFs within 
it, but not the sites pages.

Thanks for any ideas!

Karoline
