Abstract
A plurality of data stored in a data base memory are displayed on a display portion at random, and when a retriever designates a desired data among the displayed data by a keyboard or a pointing device, a CPU stores the data in an auxiliary memory, estimates data which seems to be desirable for the retriever based on the stored data, and selects estimated data from the data base memory as well as data which are not determined to be desirable, and these are displayed simultaneously. Therefore, the scope of desirable data can be narrowed, well reflecting the intention of the retriever.
