Abstract
A search platform that can search for and correlate elements in written and drawing portions of a document. The search engine can receive an indication of an element associated with a written portion of a document, determine a location in a drawing portion of the document associated with the element, and provide the determined location for display. Conversely, the search engine can also receive an indication of an element associated with a drawing portion of a document, determine a location in a written portion of the document associated with the element, and provide the determined location for display. Elements can refer to any textual, symbolic, or coded phrase or graphical representation associated with a unique alphanumeric or symbolic identifier in a written or drawing portion of a document or documents.
