A public document sent here is kept in our library, to be indexed and read into cited rows; a link on a file-sharing host or carrying a signature or token is read and never kept (`kept` says which, and why). Cite numbers or phrases from a public document by page: give its address (a PDF, a web page or plain text, up to 40 MiB) and what to find, as the document prints it. Each find comes back with every page it is printed on (`n_hits`, the first 5 with their `quote`), the quoted text around it, and a `cite` naming the page, the address, the document's sha256 and the day it was read: the citation an answer can carry. Matching is exact as typed: a number as printed (0.10 is not 0.1; a decimal comma reads as a point), spaces optional, letters in any case, µg read as ug. A find not printed on the pages read is in `not_found`, with any pages not read; a scan with no text layer is refused, not read by OCR. A document may print a provision twice, as it stood and as amended: say which page you quote. `held_as` names the instruments this server already reads rows from when the document is one of them.
