TCS Grep Sharp Club! - A Example Search - The Epstein Files

Shown on this page is a pictoral representation of a TCSGrepSharp search of the Epstein files recently released by the United States Department of Justice pursuant to legislation. The Epstein Files were downloaded from the government website https://www.justice.gov/epstein to a Thompson Custom Software server solid state hard drive. For those not familiar, there are different types of data available broadly divided into document and non-document types. Generally speaking, document type data is amenable to electronic searching and analysis whereas non-document type data like photographs and video is much less amenable to such searching and analysis. Further, document type data can be broadly divided in human readable and binary. In the vast majority of cases, the document type data in the case of the "Epstein files" is NOT stored in human readable form. Rather the document data is stored in Abobe's "Portable Document Format" aka PDF (.pdf) files. Only a very sophisticated application like TCSGrepSharp can decode .pdf files rapidly and accurately and subsequently search this data for specified text or apply carefully crafted regular expressions!
