PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a systematic means for assisting a user to find a location of information desired irrespective of lack of an accurate search parameter by utilizing query relevant information based on a query and/or a search purpose. SOLUTION: A user can find out information without systematically creating an optimum search query first. A query graph provides a graph concept capable of navigating the query relevant information via a node indicating the query relevant information and an edge showing association between these information. In one embodiment of this invention, the query graph is derived from a query log, a query list, and/or an information source such as a search engine. In another embodiment, additional instance provides the user with the query relevant information including an overlay, an icon, a color, and dimensional change, by utilizing a visible indicator and/or an audible indicator used along with the query graph.
