What We Built

When the DOJ released 3+ million pages of Epstein files on January 30, 2026, most people saw an overwhelming PDF dump. We saw a search problem.

Within 48 hours, we:

- Downloaded all 12 datasets from justice.gov

- Extracted text from every PDF using OCR where needed

- Indexed 44,886 documents into a full-text search engine (Meilisearch)

- Built interactive visualizations of the network

- Made it all free and public

Search Tips

**For names:** Use quotes for exact matches - add %22 around the name in the URL

**For document IDs:** Search directly by EFTA number

**For financial documents:** Try these search terms: wire transfer, Deutsche Bank, DB-SDNY (wire exhibit prefix), prosecution memo, NPA immunity, co-conspirator

**For victim-related:** Be careful with these searches - victim statement, minor, massage (euphemism in many documents)

What We DON'T Have

To be clear about limitations:

- We indexed PDFs only (not video or image content)

- OCR quality varies - some documents have extraction errors

- We cannot verify authenticity - these are DOJ-released documents

- Redactions remain redacted - we can't see what's blacked out

---

Attribution

If you use this in your reporting:

- The underlying documents are DOJ public releases

- Our indexing and visualization tools are free to reference

- Citation: "Epstein files indexed by DugganUSA.com"

Why We Built This

The DOJ released 3 million pages hoping the volume would bury the stories. Pattern recognition at scale changes that equation.

We're a threat intelligence platform. We index hostile infrastructure for a living. Indexing documents is what we do.

The search is free. The data is public. Go find the stories.
