A processor receives an input of finding information indicating at least one finding, which is desired to be searched for, on a query base image, which includes a part desired to be searched for and is a source of a query image, to derive the query image to which the finding has been added, derives at least one added finding feature amount indicating an image feature for the added finding, and derives a query normal feature amount indicating an image feature for a normal region included in the part in the query base image. The processor derives similarities between the query image and a plurality of reference images including findings on the basis of comparisons between the added finding feature amount and the query normal feature amount and the like with reference to an image database in which the plurality of reference images have been registered and extracts the reference image that is similar to the query image as a similar image from the image database on the basis of the similarities.
