Google Now Indexing Scanned Documents, And A Chimp With A Sergey Brin Mask

by Jason Wilk on October 30, 2008

Google has announced that is now including scanned documents in its search results.
Instead of processing the scan as an image and only indexing titles, the actual content is analyzed, significantly improving the optimization.
As a bonus, you can view the PDF scan in HTML form too. Nice Google.

Today The Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers are teleconferencing today with Google to discuss terms of a settlement in their copyright lawsuit of Google Book Search.
Google will have to pay at least $45 million for authors and publishers whose in-copyright works were scanned into the system without permission ($60 per author)
The settlement however is not going to ban Google Book Search, but just bring it back into the legal realm. Its plan are to expand online access to millions of in-copyright publications and find a proper revenue share with authors when Universities or others subscribe to their work.
The settlement is still subject to approval by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
