Thanks for all of the suggestions. I downloaded Swish-e engine and am quite pleased with the end result. It's blazingly fast and, with the help of the SWISH::API module, I had a very nice CGI available for my users in no time.

As for all the questions about the OCR, I cannot answer them. Unfortunately for my firm, the documents in question have been OCRed by the opposing counsel and the quality does not seem to be all that great. Despite their daunting entry into the "evidence obfuscation contest", Swish-e is doing its job nicely. Of course, there's still not much I can do about bad OCR...

Now I just need to figure out how to implement the "print all results" button that I've been asked to add to my script ("all results" often seems to entail a few thousand TIFF files) I'm sure there's a node about that here somewhere...

Thanks again,

Ariel
