Organize Graphics-Rich Documents
To handle documents that are full of diagrams, images, you should be able to search through contents, while reviewing corresponding imagery. GetArchive is handling both Original File and OCR Text. It is the perfect solution for managing archives of proposals, manuals, blueprints, printed advertising, graphics-heavy documents, etc., regardless of their original format.

Search for "Aberdeen" through the "Passages from the diary of General Patrick Gordon of Auchleuchries: A.D. 1635-A.D. 1699". The page-by-page OCR-generated text is used for indexing and search. Note that search works just fine yet the document written in "Olde English" circa 1690s.
OCR + Image Search

One Index For All
Users expect results with a single search string. Blame Google for that.
One search string combined with syntax like " ", #, @ replaces multiple indexes and searches to satisfy both general public and advanced users.
See how GetArchive's types of search work:
#President+Nixon
President Nixon
"President Nixon"
and Vice-President Nixon, using negative #tag syntax, sorted by relevance, in U.S. National Archives database.
The NASA History Archive
Combining multiple archives sometimes delivers unexpected outcome such as inadvertently building the NASA online archive that is larger than NASA's own.

The Largest Public Domain Resource
Among the most popular Google image searches there were quite popular ones we wanted to address first: "Free Images", " Public Domain Images"... "Royalty-Free images", etc.

So we built PICRYL - the largest media bank and search engine for public domain images and videos.
