Hacker News Reader

Just did a wildcard search and found all the documents in a second.

All 80,000+ documents from the archives:

http://alberteinstein.info/vufind1/Search/Results?lookfor=*&...

I did the same, but I still can't figure out how to read a document once you clicked the search result. i.e. http://new.alberteinstein.info/vufind1/Record/EAR000000005/T...

You have to click on the blurry DB Info image.

I know, intuitive, right? You know it's a "a user-friendly interface" because they say so [1].

Did you actually see a page yet? I only got "Currently there is no image available for this record. This is due shortly." so far, or no image to click on.

"Notes on field theory and general relativity", by using the query "General relativity". I hope there'll be more like this, it's quite interesting to see.

I agree, the UI is kinda terrible :(

The search is. The reader is the same one as the internet archive, which is IMHO pretty great:

http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/bookreader

I had exactly the same thought. Although I gave up after 3 min. :)
