FultonHistory.com
uses dtSearch online to search over
1.5 million newspapers and historical
photos.
FultonHistory.com has scanned in over 150
years of newspapers into searchable PDF.
Visitors to this publicly-available site
can use dtSearch to search the entire collection
— with highlighted hits appearing right
on the scanned newspaper images. (For example,
a search for the Titanic instantly pulls
up hit-highlighted coverage from the original
disaster in 1912, as well as more modern
coverage of the discovery of the underwater
wreck.) “I searched high and low for
a product that would handle PDF text with
embedded images ... I used the dtSearch
hit-highlighting feature to highlight words
seemingly right on the scans. Because of
the potential for OCR errors when scanning
old newspapers, dtSearch’s fuzzy searching
is really important.”

 From Processor Magazine: “The FultonHistory.com Web site currently houses more than 5.5 million pages of scanned newspaper articles and photographs from the 1830s.” dtSearch “leveraged both the OCR text and the original scanned images in its indexing and search process.” The product “‘scales excellently. It’s just as quick with 5 million pages as 5,000 pages’ ... ‘The ability to do fuzzy searches is key when you’re OCRing old newspapers from microfilm because of the poor quality of the original paper and/or quality of the microfilming.’”

think dtSearch is an extraordinary software
accomplishment. I’m a university professor,
