I'm not sure that 'tied in' is the right word to use. It happens to work
with those sites, if you *ask* it to download from those sites by giving
it an appropriate (or inappropriate) URL.

The same is true for the flash player itself, surely?

Obviously you wouldn't want it automatically indexing those sites
without being asked, and presenting results from there in a title
search.
