Fulton History’s 34 Million Page Online Newspaper Archive

Fulton History offers an unparalleled historical newspaper collection extending back to the 18th Century. dtSearch is a leader in enterprise and developer text retrieval software and document filters. Contegra Systems has decades of data integration experience and is a major provider of custom development implementations for the dtSearch Engine market, including precision faceted search and other advanced data classification.

With the new installation, Fulton History visitors can not only instantly search 34 million newspaper pages, but also automatically hone in on the exact place on the original newspaper image that contains the search term. “With about a million visitors a month to FultonHistory.com, it is critical that the site runs smoothly,” says Tom Tryniski, Fulton History’s Founder. “Adding Contegra’s highlighter to dtSearch makes the whole user experience run that much more seamlessly.”

One key issue with newspaper scanning is the possibility of optical character recognition (OCR) errors. A smudge on an old newspaper might result in an OCR program resolving “Titamic”’ as “Titanic.” The dtSearch Engine includes its own fuzzy searching algorithm which lets web visitors adjust search fuzziness to sift through OCR and other typographical errors. For example, with a fuzziness level of 3, a search for “Titanic” would find not only “Titanic” but also “Titamic.” With a fuzziness level of 4, a search for “Titanic” would find “Titanic,” “Titamic” and “Titomic.”

On the Fulton History site, dtSearch’s fuzziness algorithm also extends to the Contegra application’s highlighting of PDF hits. Adds Mr. Tryniski: “Because of the potential for OCR errors when scanning old newspapers, dtSearch’s fuzzy searching is really important.” The Fulton History site makes available other dtSearch search options as well, including stemming, phonic and concept / thesaurus searching.
