An information search apparatus includes a receiving unit which receives a search request from a searcher's terminal; a search unit which searches and retrieves, from a database, candidate information that includes a content satisfying a search criteria set in the search request; a constriction unit which constricts the retrieved candidate information based on similarities between an attribute of an authorized person who is authorized to determine disclosure or non-disclosure of the candidate information included in the candidate information, and an attribute of the searcher who transmits the search request from the searcher's terminal; and a transmission unit which transmits disclosure requests for the constricted candidate information to an authorized person's terminal and transmits candidate information in which a response for the disclosure request received by the receiving unit is set to permit disclosure to the searcher's terminal. |
