First off, if you're at all concerned about stability or security, I
suggest upgrading to 3.1.5 ASAP.

I'm assuming that you're doing this through either a form or
JavaScript. In either case, AFAIK no search engine can follow the
links. There is no way for the search engine to know that a
particular form is for navigation or for something else (i.e. you
won't want it indexing a shopping cart!).
If you'd like to point a spider towards particular URLs, I suggest
using the <LINK> tag in your header. (This could be an SSI include if
you want). See <http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/> for more details--it's a
standard HTML tag.
