[DeTomaso] any reason to keep old monthly newsletters and Profiles?

Well they go back to 1972, and it's a monthly newsletter (not including the Profiles here), so at a guess roughly 450 as I think some issues are missing.

Ok.  How many scanned PDFs (pre-2013) are there??



Can I get a sample set to review and/or test??

Originally, we were going to use tags, ie. metadata, to identify what was in an article. Then those tags would be used to search the articles. Tags actually work better than general google type searches. When you google, any word that matches in an article would be listed as a match. So if you were looking for manifold info using google almost every article would show as a match.



To use tags, you might need 20 or more tags to describe what the article was about. It could be general functional area, down to specifics like the brake pads used or motor oil used. Also would  include the year and model of the car. Attached is a doc giving ideas. Getting to the articles would use a Boolean search (comma to separate the key words) and then you'd get back a list of the articles with matches.



The problem with this is that someone would have to go thru each of the articles and input the words.

   Agreed, but making PDF's fully searchable is not quite as
   straightforward, or it would have been done. I'm not sure whether
   all the archives are Word converted to PDF documents or scanned copies
   of originals, the latter makes it a step harder again and you need an
   OCR image search capability.

   The first step would probably be a fully searchable index, that at
   least identifies where the relevant search articles are located. I'm
   sure that part is not rocket science, but either way Terry is your man!

   I just checked and it looks like everything pre-2013 is scanned in,
   later is converted/saved from Word document.

   Since the docs are scanned I would bet they are images compiled into a
   PDF. You'd
   have to crank up your fancy OCR software first.  :^)
