Abstract
A search service provided by an electronic data search system including a search center and at least one authorization center. The search center receives a search request from an information browsing apparatus and in response searches for URLs that are associated with a search condition included in the search request in a search database that registers URLs of Web pages, associating those URLs with respective search conditions. The search center presents the information browsing apparatus with link information to the detected URLs. When the search request also includes a condition that authorization by the authorization center be given, then URLs that are registered in the search database associated with the search condition, and registered in the authorization center are searched. Link information of detected URLs is presented to the information browsing apparatus and the authorization center registers URLs of Web pages opened by information disclosing persons who have been given authorization.
