Search engines have robots. These are the critters that go through your site and lists your webpages on the search engine indeces. Most of these bastards go through regular text hyperlinks only. If you havent got a page where all of your webpage links are located, or especially if you’re using flash navigation, links as well as links embedded in javasscript, then MOST likely your webpages can’t be indexed. So no page gets listed.
