Search device

摘要

A search unit 60 calculates a character-string similarity by acquiring expansion source document data partially matching a search query 70 from a character-string search index 40, determines a relational-data expansion similarity by acquiring expansion destination document data defined to have a relationship with the expansion source document data from a relational-data expansion index 50 and correcting the acquired data by the character-string similarity of the expansion destination document data and relation weight data 80, and outputs a search result 90 arranged in an order of the relational-data expansion similarity.

1. A search device comprising:
a character-string search index configured to register document data to be searched by dividing the document data into predetermined units; a relational-data expansion index configured to define a relationship between the respective document data and further define a type of the relationship; a character-string search unit configured to
divide a search query into partial data in the predetermined units,acquire document data partially matching the partial data from the character-string search index, andcalculate a similarity between the partial data and the respective document data; and a relational-data expansion search unit configured to
acquire, from the relational-data expansion index, relational definition data of an expansion source document and an expansion destination document, and a relationship indicator corresponding to a type of relationship between the expansion source document and the expansion destination document, correct the similarity based on the relational definition data and a weighted factor associated with the relationship indicator, andarrange and output the expansion source document data in an order of the corrected similarity.
