33. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a communication interface to receive a digest of a fragment of a document, the digest being generated based at least in part on the fragment;
storage medium having stored therein a plurality of digests of a plurality of electronic instances of a plurality of documents, the digests being generated based on corresponding fragments of the documents, a plurality of locations of the plurality of electronic instances of the plurality of documents, instructions designed to return one or more locations of one or more electronic instances of one or more documents, based at least in part on the received digest; and
one or more processors coupled to the communication interface and the storage medium to execute the instructions. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35)
