I often read that under some conditions search engines will not index
dynamic pages. Does that mean ANY asp or ANY asp with a ? request string?

It means some of both. Some dynamic pages simply can't be indexed.
Google , however, picks up all kinds of dynamic pages. A common problem I
have is that when I google for reasons for various Oracle error messages,
the top hits are always pages Google found that had generated the error,
not discussions of the cause of such.

Plus, some engines (supposedly) respect "no robots" headers.

A quick glance shows me that google has indexed at least one of my asp pages
with a request string. If google picks it up, what else matters? :-)
