A collecting process of data which is managed by each server on a network is first started by information collection means. In the collecting process, data under a point serving as a root is collected while repeating processes such that data at the point serving as a certain root is collected on the basis of access setting information, a link destination is extracted from the collected data, and data on the extracted link destination is further collected. Subsequently, the data which is necessary by the user is extracted by extraction means. The extracted data is outputted to an output destination. Thus, the information which is required by the user can be searched from the information managed and held in a plurality of information processing apparatuses on the network without forcing surplus labor and time to the user.
