## Commands

### `search` — Search Epstein Documents

Search across all 44,886+ indexed documents by keyword, name, topic, or location.

```bash
node scripts/epstein.mjs search --query "SEARCH TERMS" [--limit N]
```

| Flag | Description | Default |
|------|-------------|---------|
| `--query <terms>` | Search query (required) | — |
| `--limit <N>` | Number of results (1-500) | `10` |

**Examples:**

```bash
# Search for a specific person
node scripts/epstein.mjs search --query "Prince Andrew"

# Search for a topic
node scripts/epstein.mjs search --query "financial transactions"

# Search for locations
node scripts/epstein.mjs search --query "New York mansion"

# Get more results
node scripts/epstein.mjs search --query "flight logs" --limit 50

# Search for evidence types

```

### `stats` — Index Statistics

Get the current state of the document index — total documents, database size, and last update time.

```bash
node scripts/epstein.mjs stats
```

## Output Format

Search results are returned as JSON to stdout (for easy piping and parsing). Status messages and **Quick Links** (direct PDF URLs) go to stderr for easy viewing.

### Search Result Shape

```json
{
  "query": "flight logs",
  "totalHits": 1523,
  "hits": [
    {
      "id": "doc-abc123",
      "efta_id": "EFTA-00001234",
      "content_preview": "Excerpt from the document...",
      "doc_type": "legal_document",
      "dataset": "epstein_files",
      "pages": 3,
      "people": ["Person A", "Person B"],

{
  "totalDocuments": 44886,
  "databaseSize": "2.1 GB",
  "lastUpdate": "2026-01-31T...",
  "isIndexing": false

```

## Data Source

All documents come from the **U.S. Department of Justice** release of Jeffrey Epstein-related records on January 30, 2026. The documents are indexed and searchable via the [DugganUSA](https://analytics.dugganusa.com) public API.

- **Source**: [DOJ Epstein Records](https://www.justice.gov/epstein)
- **Index**: [DugganUSA Analytics](https://analytics.dugganusa.com)
- **Coverage**: 44,886+ document files (3+ million pages)
- **Content**: Court filings, depositions, flight logs, financial records, communications, evidence inventories, and more

## Piping & Integration

Results go to stdout as JSON, making it easy to pipe into other tools:

```bash
# Pipe to jq for filtering
node scripts/epstein.mjs search --query "Maxwell" --limit 100 | jq '.hits[] | .people'

# Save results to file
node scripts/epstein.mjs search --query "flight logs" --limit 500 > flight-logs.json

# Count total hits
node scripts/epstein.mjs search --query "Palm Beach" | jq '.totalHits'

# Extract all mentioned people
node scripts/epstein.mjs search --query "2005" --limit 100 | jq '[.hits[].people[]?] | unique'
```

## Troubleshooting

**"Cannot reach API"**
Check your internet connection. The DugganUSA API may have temporary downtime.

**"No results found"**
Try broader search terms. The search is keyword-based — use names, locations, or document types rather than full sentences.

**Slow responses**
The API typically responds in 100-900ms. Larger result sets (limit > 100) may take slightly longer.
