Abstract: A system that suggests recipients for a target document based on similarity of document data is provided. The system receives an indication of the target document. The system identifies documents that are similar to the target document based on a comparison of document data of the target document to document data of documents in a corpus of documents. The system then identifies entities associated with the identified documents. The system then suggests that one or more of the identified entities be considered as recipients for the target document. The system may also suggest recipients based on a recipient query. When a response to a prompt for a recipient does not match an entity in an address store, the system identifies an entity to suggest by using the response as a recipient query to identify an entity that matches the recipient query.
