Abstract
A method for document discovery includes receiving a scan of a physical copy of a document with a non-text object, determining a tag for the non-text object defining a portion of the non-text object in an original file, and generating, based on the tag, non-text object metadata with composition information of the non-text object. The method further includes searching, using the non-text object metadata, electronic documents stored in a data repository, where each of the electronic documents has an object and searchable metadata associated with the object, comparing the non-text object metadata with the searchable metadata, and providing a location of the original file to a user when the non-text object metadata matches the searchable metadata.
