This project contains a Lucene search user interface, which is robust, efficient and can be used offline. Lucene is an open source Java library that indexes documents and searches through them, http://lucene.apache.org.
The Panama Papers database contains offshore companies information based on files leaked from the Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca.
-
The Panama Express project was designed with the intension of creating a user friendly search engine of the data of two Leaks: the Panama Papers and the Offshore Leaks released by The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).
-
This is our first version and we are open to contributions.
- The first point to take into account is that the Panama Papers database should be downloaded at https://offshoreleaks.icij.org/pages/database. We do NOT provide the data.
- As soon as you have the data you can start with our Panama Express search engine. This project can be cloned or downloaded by means of a .jar-file. We strongly recomend to use the jar, as it is easier to use.
- You can download the newest stable version on Sourceforge Panama Express Project: https://sourceforge.net/projects/panama-express/
