INDEX METHOD
Results stay in editorial order. The index does not infer importance, popularity, trustworthiness or legal effect from a match.
Every result identifies whether it is a topic desk, source profile, timeline event or editorial cluster.
“Awaiting coverage” describes an empty taxonomy desk. It is never padded with a placeholder article.
A result can help you find a record, but its source page and pinpoint explain the legal-status boundary.
