A microfiche. You wouldn't really use this for modern searchng, they woudl be in archives for looking at old papers.
The papers are photod and the images reduced onto a film. The microfiche machine then magnifies it for you.
They are about th size of a large monitor, have a light and fan in them
"he searched through the small hours, studying each page in turn, tryng to concentrate with the drumming of the Microfiche fan and the heat from the light making him drift off to sleep"

It is called a Microfiche (that is the correct spelling) and here is a pretty good description from good old Wikipedia:

Definitely a Microfiche reader. Please check the spelling though (the check spelling feature seems to think the che bit is a misspelled word!). You could try one out in a library probably.

You probably mean a Micro Fiche reader (I'm not totally sure that the spelling is right) that's what they use in libraries for that kind of thing, try looking it up on-line to be sure.
