A data collecting method performs a process to collect data open to public by investigation targets of which an attribute varies with respect to passage of time. The method is performed by a computer by executing a program to perform a process including: creating a keyword for searching the data of the investigation targets having a first attribute that lacks with respect to a population of the investigation targets based on a distribution of a second attribute different from the first attribute; estimating the first attribute of the investigation targets of data that is collected using the keyword; and replenishing the investigation targets to be replenished in the population by the investigation targets that are estimated as having the lacking first attribute.

Group forming method, data collecting method and data collecting apparatus

A search support apparatus includes a receiving unit, a determining unit, and an output unit. The receiving unit receives a question containing a character string and extracts a keyword for specifying a question object and a keyword for specifying a question type from the character string contained in the question. The determining unit determines a display mode of an output of a response to the received question in accordance with the keyword for specifying the question type. The output unit outputs a search result based on the keyword for specifying the question object, in the display mode of the output.
