[open-humanities] The importance of search

[Sam Leon]

Jonathan, Nick, Laura, Open Humanists,

Really interesting points.

Lack of good search capability on the Internet Archive given the
unreliability of its OCR scans was something I sorely missed during my
dissertation.

As Nick says much of the very useful searches we want to do will be trivial
to implement. the fact is I've never seen any platform that allows you to
search for a given word across the whole body of an authors work.
