A handwriting processing apparatus and method effective for search of, e.g., a document file including handwriting is provided. When a handwriting characters are input to a coordinate input unit as a search key, a corresponding character in a dictionary is recognized for each of the handwritten characters, a search unit searches for a text code stored in a document file storage unit based on a text code of the corresponding character if the corresponding character is recognized and the search unit searches for handwriting trail data stored in a handwriting trail storage unit based on a handwriting trail of the handwriting character if the corresponding character is not recognized, thereby finding a desired document file.
