The simple answer has to be no. Unless the search engine finds links to follow 
it's blind. It will not fill in search boxes just to see where it can get.
However if there are pages USING links to POI then a search engine will 
provide a link to that page, it will not provide the link directly since there 
will probably be no text matching the search?
