Contegra’s PDF Highlighter
FultonHistory.com visitors can now not only instantly search all 34 million newspaper pages, but also automatically home in on the exact place on the original newspaper image containing the search term. “With about a million visitors a month to FultonHistory.com, it is critical that the site runs smoothly,” says Tom Tryniski, founder, FultonHistory.com. “Adding Contegra’s highlighter to dtSearch makes the whole user experience run that much more seamlessly.”
Working with Old Newspapers
One key issue with old newspaper scanning is the possibility of OCR (optical character recognition) misreads and other typographical errors. The dtSearch Engine has its own fuzzy searching algorithm for sifting through such errors. For example, with a fuzziness level of 3, a search for “Titanic” would find not only “Titanic” but also “Titamic.”
