Must search pages manually

[UPDATE: A workaround has been found to fix this problem, so please disregard the following message.]

Unfortunately, Google has an extremely destructive "quality guideline" that they refuse to fix that required that the hidden OCR text be removed that previously allowed (to the extent of automated optical character recognition legibility) the following pages to be automatically searched. As a result of Google's notice that they will otherwise not index this website, the following pages now appear as images only that have to be manually searched to find the content. Needless to say, we are extremely upset with Google for forcing this bad result.

After many wasted hours creating a workaround, the OCR text has been reposted on separate pages linked to the image display pages. So once again, the text is searchable.
