that you bookmark this on-line document.

1857.
It is most helpful in locating towns mentioned on old covers. The URL
is :

G'day Blair,
any ideas why I cannot search the document?

I found a pdf yesterday by Toke Norby regarding "Pacificus"
and could not search that pdf either.

This is the first time I have encountered this.
Any ideas?

Hi Rod.

I am using Fox Reader 2.3 and I cannot search the India book. And yes, I
do have the JPEG2000 plugin installed.

'Mornin Tony,
I hope it can be resolved,
It is a marvelous resource discovered by Blair.
I am wondering if I have some setting needing selection.

Hi Rod.
Remember that a PDF file is searchable ONLY IF it was created searchable.
There are many programs that can create PDF files but not all can create
searchable PDF files.

G'day Tony,
going by Blair's comments that it was searchable,
I thought maybe it was "layered"

to wit:

PDF Searchable Image is a PDF Image Only document with the addition of a
text layer beneath the image. This approach inexpensively retains the look
of the original page while enabling text searchability. This balanced
approach is especially suitable for documents that have to be searchable but
would be too expensive to recompose. The text layer is created by an Optical
Character Recognition (OCR) application that scans the text on each page. It
then creates a PDF file with the recognized text stored in a layer beneath
the image of the text.

Did you try searching the HTML or text version?

I did not try to search the PDF version.

Search works perfectly well for me in Firefox

A great resource, Blair - if not entirely accurate. The (Rajput)
ruling family of Burwanee (Barwani) would have a fit at being
described as Bhils!
