This might be possible but it would have to get the information about what page you're
coming ~from~
(the referring page) from your web browser. The spidering program used to create
indexes for search
engines isn't a web browser and almost certainly dispenses with overhead like because
it has to
spider as many pages as possible in a minimum of time.
If they want to index anything they can do it and we really can't stop them.
Furthermore, my beef with them isn't the indexing itself but the fact that they're
creating illegal
thumbnail *copies* of my photos and storing them on their own hard drives. This is a
copyright
violation no matter what some dimwitted judge found in a previous lawsuit. (Needs to
be taken to a
higher court, IMHO).
