I did the same, but I still can't figure out how to read a document once you clicked the search result. i.e. http://new.alberteinstein.info/vufind1/Record/EAR000000005/T...

You have to click on the blurry DB Info image. I know, intuitive, right? You know it's a "a user-friendly interface" because they say so [1]. [1] http://alberteinstein.info/manuscripts.html

Did you actually see a page yet? I only got "Currently there is no image available for this record. This is due shortly." so far, or no image to click on.

"Notes on field theory and general relativity", by using the query "General relativity". I hope there'll be more like this, it's quite interesting to see.

I clicked on "Archival Database" and then "Find" (with no input) to see all documents. Using the filters on the right, I was then able to filter for Author = "Albert Einstein", Language = "English", and Digital Object = "Digitized Documents". Here's a link to what I got (sorted by title alphabetically): http://new.alberteinstein.info/vufind1/Search/Results?lookfo...

Even so, I am unable to figure out how to access the document. Perhaps I am missing something relevant?
