There is a PDF version but that requires sacrifice of your email address, indeterminate waiting for the confirmation email, etc.

With the abundance of search engine optimization tools, have you noticed the lack of index engine optimization (IEO) tools?
When an indexing engine is “optimized,” settings of the indexing engine are altered to produce a “better” result. So far as I know, the data being indexed isn’t normally changed to alter the behavior of the indexing engine.
In contrast to an indexing engine, it is expected data destined for a search engine can and will change/optimize itself to alter the behavior of the search engine.
What if data were index engine optimized, say to distinguish terms with multiple meanings, at the time of indexing? Say articles in the New York Times were paired with vocabulary lists of the names, terms, etc. that appear within them.
Bi-directional links so that an index of the vocabulary lists would at the same time be an index of the articles themselves.
