    摘要: An apparatus including: a preference word obtainment unit that, when a search condition is input, obtains related words associated with keywords included in the search condition by a predetermined threshold or greater. Further, the preference word obtainment unit decreases the predetermined threshold to obtain related words, from a preference association dictionary when an expansion command is received. Moreover, the apparatus includes (i) a judgment unit which judges whether the related word obtained by the preference word obtainment unit is stored when the expansion command is received, (ii) a general word obtainment unit which obtains a related word from a general dictionary when it is judged that the related word obtained by the preference word obtainment unit is stored, and (iii) a retrieval unit which generates a search condition from the related word, obtains information meeting the generated search condition, and outputs the obtained information as a search result.
