<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new retrieval method and the like suitable for avoiding a semantic drift. <P>SOLUTION: In a retrieval device 1, a retrieval target data group stored in retrieval target data storage means is retrieved by using one or more retrieval words. A retrieval part 15 retrieves a retrieval target data group by using retrieval word(s). An extraction means 23 extracts multiple related words from the retrieval result. A selection part 27 selects related words as retrieval significant words from among the related words, restricting the number. A retrieval part 15 retrieves the retrieval target data group again by using the retrieval significant words. Semantic drift can be avoided because the selection part 27 selects related words, restricting the number. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
