Government organizations love to distribute documents as PDF files. They are easy to forward and to print. The problem is when you want to find and access them later among millions of other files. GovScape, a research project between the University of Washington and Boston University, provides a search interface through the End of Term Web Archive’s 2020 crawl.
The code for GovScape is open source and available on GitHub. I have a feeling such a tool will grow more important going forward.
