Fired U.S. Attorney document search
Alberto Gonzales has a return engagement before Congress today, so you may want to check out the DOJ Documentation Project's document search, where you can query the contents of more than 9,000 emails, memos and other documents released as part of the Congressional investigation into the firing of U.S. Attorneys:
This is a tool to search text files of the documents released by the DOJ. Each page of each released document has been scanned and turned into a text (.txt) file - there are over 9,000 such files. Some effort has also been made to clean up these files with common OCR errors, but not all of them have been found, as you will see. This is a work in progress and it is not even close to perfect. Most of the released documents were scanned files (i.e. pictures) of the documents. They have been put through an OCR process which is never perfect. Some corrections have been made and more will be made in the future and you can help.
The site doesn't explain its origins or its motives, as far as I can see, but it does link to images of the original documents on government Web sites, so at least the search results can be verified.
