Abstract
In a search support server, a related word extraction unit generates frequency information and co-occurrence information of keywords, a graph generation unit generates coordinate information of a spring graph including the keywords as nodes, on the basis of the co-occurrence information, a cluster generation unit groups the nodes into clusters and thereby generates cluster definition information, and a display information generation unit generates display information of the spring graph. In addition, an operation determination unit determines which operation is performed on the spring graph. Then, when a level change is instructed, the display information generation unit generates display information of the spring graph after the level is changed. When a node change is instructed, a cluster re-generation unit changes the cluster definition information and the frequency information. When a search query generation is instructed, a search query generation unit generates a search query with a keyword of a selected cluster.
