Abstract
Method and apparatus for template-based processing of electronic documents is described. In some examples, text content of the electronic documents is analyzed to identify whether each of the electronic documents matches any of a plurality of document templates. A template index is generated that relates at least one of the electronic documents with at least one of the plurality of document templates associated therewith. A search query is generated using at least one of the plurality of document templates as a respective at least one search parameter. An archive having the electronic documents is searched using the template index to locate any of the electronic documents that match the at least one document template of the search query.
