SEARCH SYSTEM, SEARCH SERVER, CLIENT, SEARCH METHOD, PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

A search system includes meta data describing a feature of each of contents. When a search server is requested to search for meta data from a client, the search server, instead of responding the entire meta data, returns a part for each data, thereby reducing the communication amount between the search server and the client. Moreover, it is possible to perform browsing while acquiring meta data little by little.
