Show HN: Epstein Files Organized and Searchable

https://searchepsteinfiles.com/
130•searchepstein•2h ago
Hey all,

Throwaway in case this is assumed to be politcally motivated.

I spent some time organizing the Eptstein files to make transparency a little clearer. I need to tighten the data for organizations and people a bit more, but hopeful this is helpful in research in the interim.

I would say these are 'tagged'; organized is a bit of a stretch, IMO.

This is some sort of searchable index that reminds me a lot of what the web was like prior to Google; the Altavista days. It's just a jumble of poorly formatted text that isn't really contextually aware and is largely useless for the volume of textual documents.

Then there's the whole 'I landed on an email that offers the text of an email that, I assume, the pertinent information is in the attachment listed, of which I cannot easily access.

I'd be more interested to see how you enhance this in v2.

> It's just a jumble of poorly formatted text that isn't really contextually aware and is largely useless for the volume of textual documents.

I did a quick spot check and the lack of _clear_ date field is going to make contextualizing a bit trickier. It looks like most of the `email` have them but other types like `report` may have an unknown "first, created/circulated internally" date and a broader "the public can see it" date.

Nevertheless, it's only a matter of time before this gets loaded into a graph DB so the context becomes more apparent similar to what the journalists did for the panama papers.

Thanks for your feedback. Agreed it's not perfect and can be improved. That said, I wanted to put it out there in case it did help someone, even in it's imperfect state.

Marked improvements incoming...

Great job!

Would be nice if the messages are formatted with just date, sender and message and the metadata is hidden in a popup or whatever.

searchepstein•5m ago
Thank you for the feedback.

Unfortunately it's several thousand raw text files, and determining a single relevant date, sender and message for each file is a bit more complex than I had time for this week. Next week we'll make the files more readable, ingest & display the images, amongst other usabillity improvements.

Thanks for putting this together.

The stuff I am coming across in here is WILD.

If you could find a way to make some of this more easily searchable/readable/etc. (Minimize headings/convert links/fix line breaks etc)

BTW, the chat logs of other parties anonymous, but you can clearly tell these are with Steve Bannon:

Nice finds!

Yep, I've had a snoot-full of this project this week - but next week I'll start pulling in the images and making improvements. Thank you for the feedback!
