In a document searching system, a first storing apparatus, a second storing apparatus, and a document managing apparatus are connected to one another. The document managing apparatus stores structure information that shows a hierarchical structure regarding hierarchy positional relationships among the elements in the structured documents stored in the first and the second storing apparatuses. The document managing apparatus extracts an identical element that is a predetermined element in the structured documents stored in the second storing apparatus that matches the element in the structured documents stored in the first storing apparatus. The first storing apparatus stores the structured documents and conducts a search in the stored structured documents for one of the structured documents that contains the received identical element. The second storing apparatus conducts a search for one of the structured documents containing the identical element that matches the received text information. |
