A full-text data base retrieving device retrieves a data base in accordance with a query. A full-text index has character location information representative of location of each of key character sequences of N characters that appear in the data base, where N is a positive integer. A query memory memorizes the query as a retrieval key character sequence. A separating section separates the retrieval key character sequence into a plurality of retrieval key character sequences of N characters to extract contexts as extracted contexts from the retrieval key character sequence in accordance with the retrieval key character sequences. A context classifying section classifies the extracted contexts into classified contexts having the classification numbers, respectively. An index retrieving section retrieves the full-text index in accordance with the sorts of the retrieval key character sequences and the classified contexts to read the character location information as a retrieval result out of the full-text index. A detecting section detects appearance locations of the retrieval key character sequence in the full-text data base to produce the appearance locations as a detected result.
