Welcome to the MathSearch wiki!

MathSearch is a next-generation search engine for users to identify and locate equations within a PDF using the LaTeX math script. It solves one of the biggest pain points of using CTRL/CMD + F when looking for mathematical equations: the inability to input mathematical symbols (i.e. integrations, summations, etc.) in its search query. Instead of having to use CTRL/CMD + F to find equations painfully, our website allows users to search for an equation using mathematical notation and symbols (written in LaTeX). We return the pages from the PDF with bounding boxes around the closest matches to the queried equation.
