To view an image containing matches to your search term:
Click on the name of the genealogical resource (e.g., directory, yizkor book) above the search result, then follow the directory-specific instructions below:
For resources on the Library of Congress' [LoC] website, type the image number in the box near the top and click on "Turn to image."
For directories on the Digital Library of Wielkopolska [DLoW], Digital Library of Zielona Gora [DLoZG], Silesian Digital Library [SDL], Kujawsko-Pomorska Digital Library [KPDL], Podlaska Digital Library [PDL], Malopolska Digital Library [MDL], Podkarpacka Digital Library [PkDL], Lodz Digital Library [LDL], Municipal Public Library of Radom [MPLR], or Wejherowo Digital Library's [WDL] website, click on "Show Publication Content" on the right. Either the resource will open or you will be prompted to choose a display method: DjVu built-in applet or browser plugin. Select your preferred method (the first requires that you have Sun's Java Virtual Machine installed on your computer, the second that you have a DjVu plugin for your web browser installed), and, if necessary, follow the instructions to install the appropriate software. You should only have to install the software once, although you might needlessly be prompted to install it again (which you can ignore). If you have already installed the software, click on "Browse publication" to open the resource. When the directory is open, you can use the pull-down menu near the top to select the image you want to view. If you have a problem with the browser plugin download link, you can find the plugin for Windows or Macintosh here.
For resources on the Malopolska Genealogical Society [MGS] website, you should see the first page of the resource, if you have already installed a DjVu plugin for your web browser. If you do not see the first page, please download and install the plugin from the appropriate link listed above.
For the 1929 Polish business directory hosted by JRI-Poland/JewishGen [JRI-P/JG], you should see the page containing the match. If you need to go forward or back a page, click change the number after the "P" near the end of the URL (e.g., P0707.html for page 707).
For resources on the Internet Archive [IA] website, either click "PDF" on the left to download and open the entire resource, and then type the image number in the box near the top left in your PDF viewer, or click "Flip Book" on the left, if this option is available, and page forward or backward with the arrows on the right, or jump many pages forward or backward by clicking on the page edges (vertical lines on the left and right of the pages).
To find your match, once you are viewing an image:
Have patience and examine every word. The search result snippet provided by Genealogy Indexer can help you to locate the match in the image. Often, images are alphabetized entirely or within blocks, but the alphabetization may be incomplete. For example, a business directory may list a jointly-owned business under "S" for "Smith and Jones," but not under "J" for "Jones and Smith." Highlighting of search matches on the images is available only for a few resources.
