Abstract
A data search apparatus is capable of searching for a face image, character data corresponding to the face image, and/or a combination of the face data and character data, based only on part of the data which compose the face image. In such case, one or more part data, such as eyes, nose, etc. composing the face image is designated by a key input unit, and image data including part data which coincides with the designated part data, is read out from memory. The found face image is then displayed on a display unit, along with character data corresponding thereto.
