Notes:

Results returned are from a plain list of the files and a list of the links.

Items under "Stats" are clickable for results display of that item.

"Words in filename" searches for the given words in the path and filename of each file.
This is lexeme matching, so "wedding" also matches "weddings"
but also matches "wed" which might mean Wednesday. The exact words can be filtered in the results pages.
To exclude a word from the match, prefix it with an exclamation mark (!).

"Words in OCR" searches for the given words in the character recognized text of the images.
Same rules as "Words in filename".
These words are very approximate due to original image scan results.
They may contain useful hints in finding files. Some placenames and surnames are intact.

The year column has been extracted from the folder and file by program regex so may not be perfect.
Some file names contain multiple years.
