Hi Tony,
There are two reasons why they might be seeing the content of your
site:
Frames
------
Search engines have difficulty navigating sites that use frames. Even
more so if the frames are generated by Javascript.
Google's help files say:
Reasons your site may not be included:
Your page uses frames.
Google supports frames to the extent that it can. Frames tend to cause
problems with search engines, bookmarks, emailing links and so on,
because frames don't fit the conceptual model of the web (every page
corresponds to a single URL). If a user's query matches the site as a
whole, Google returns the frame set. If a user's query matches an
individual page on the site, Google returns that page. That individual
page is not displayed in a frame -- because there may be no frame set
corresponding to that page.

Use a text browser such as Lynx to examine your site, because most
search engine spiders see your site much as Lynx would. If fancy
features such as Javascript, cookies, session ID's, frames, DHTML, or
Flash keep you from seeing all of your site in a text browser, then
search engine spiders may have trouble crawling your site.

By using the Search Engine Spider Simulator at Search Engine World,
you can get a reasonably accurate look at what Google and other search
engines see when they visit your site:
http://www.searchengineworld.com/cgi-bin/sim_spider.cgi
The URL I entered was:
http://scientialsupply.com/home.html?name=company
The result contained all the META data, but no content from the page
Dynamic Pages
-------------
Also from Google's help page on why your site might not be listed:
Your pages are dynamically generated. We are able to index dynamically
generated pages. However, because our web crawler can easily overwhelm
and crash sites serving dynamic content, we limit the amount of
dynamic pages we index.
://www.google.com/webmasters/2.html#A1
If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a '?'
character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls
dynamic pages as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters
short and the number of them small.
://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html
Regardless of whether there is any dynamic generation occuring, the
use of the ? in a URL is a red flag to search engines.
NOTE: Google has visited your site:
://www.google.com/search?q=+site:scientialsupply.com+%22scientialsupply.%2Bcom%22
