Google Books is one example, where documents originally produced only in print and scanned are now searchable digitally. Would a text-based search over keyword provide more robust results avoiding the effect here? This would assume that any included searchable journal had also completed a text-recognition project on all previous publications included in the given collection. Certainly room for error if documents are excluded or mis-scanned, but there must be a way that OCR'd documents can be quality-checked for searchability first. Thoughts?
