Frames can be hard to understand and use for web designers and you can spend lots of hours trouble shooting them if you don't have a firm grasp understanding of how to use them.

Frames will create several webpages that all fit in a master frame called the 'frameset'. It's confusing, it makes a lot of files and links and you can do almost every thing in tables that you can do in frames, so unless you have reasons that you like to use them there is no need to hassel with frames.

A frameset webpage design can deter or prevent the searching and indexing of your website by search crawlers from Google and Yahoo, etc.

The general opinion in web design is that using frames will kill any real chance that your website will do reasonably well in search results.

This is kinda true but is misleading because if you combine your knowledge your of competition's website design and your knowledge how to 'optimize' your own website for search engines you can use framesets. The knowhow to accomplished this is where your web design skill and STRATEGY comes into play again.

Search Engine Optimization is a specialty in web design. Most designers are ignorant of it or barely understand it.
