I have been using Alex Gorbatchev's Syntax Highlighter to display code snippets on my blog for the past couple of years. It serves the purpose, but it is a pain to add the code while blogging (I need to use a HTML Encoder and manually add this piece wrapped around a <pre> tag). But, the positive thing is, I know for sure the search engine will crawl the code I have written.

Recently I stumbled upon Github Gists and it was really easy to just copy & paste my code in, select the language, and use the embed code on my website. However, the question I have is:

Will search engines that crawl my blog be able to see the code inside my gist and be able to lead visitors to my blog page?
