Let me ask a couple of questions? 
  
  1.  What format were the documents scanned into?  If it is pdf then there are several options. 
  
  2.  Assuming it is scanned into adobe's pdf format you could use  Adobe's Capture software which adds searchable text layer to the image  file. 
  
  3.  For searching (in any format) I recommend I ISYS  software.  It is the underlying search software used by Worldox  and IMHO it works better.  Just have it scan the drive or volume  where your documents are located and set it re-index the drive in the  evening.

I now have the unenviable  task of figuring out the most economical way of extracting the data  from the scanned document images (also many on microfiche).  Can  anyone point me in the right direction?  Is there technology  available that can scan the images and accurately translate the data to  a database on a volume basis?  Are there services who might be  geared up to do this?  Any help would be appreciated.
