I think the downloads here http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=gesenius are searchable in
PDF when you download them to your computer. I've found that the books on Google are not searchable in PDF when downloaded to your computer. You have to
search them at Google.

True - because they are scans and don't actually contain any text. They're searchable at Google because they've taken the time to OCR them. I believe you can also download the plain text version. |

But the interesting this is that at archive.org the scans you download in PDF are searchable on your computer, except the ones they have on there now that are
from Google books. Was it the way Google scanned theirs? The W & H books I downloaded from Archive.org are scannable in PDF on my computer. That comes in
handy when verifying what they really said with what GAR says they said.

Yeah, sorry, when I said they were scans, I mean they simply scanned the books and produced PDF files out of the resulting images - not that they scanned the books and OCR'd them into searchable text files. Obviously what the Internet Archive folks have done is the latter. |

Thanks, Scott. I wasn't sure what they called it. It's called OCR, then. I like Archive a bit better because they do that. I now have most of
Westcott's books in OCR. Google is helpful, too, in that they often have books Archive doesn't. It looks like Archive and Google have sort of combined,
now, tho.

OCR = Optical Character Recognition, i.e. software that can read scanned text by recognizing the shapes of letters.
It wouldn't surprise me to find out that Google and Archive are working together. Google Books and Amazon already share PDFs of commercial works. |

Thanks for explaining what OCR stands for.
