Abstract
An information searching apparatus retrieves a sub graph matching an inquiry graph from a graph to be searched. The apparatus includes an extracting unit that extracts, from among clusters of nodes in the graph to be searched, plural cluster pairs that each include a first cluster and a second cluster including a node linked by a link to a node in the first cluster and a calculating unit that calculates a bonding strength for each of the cluster pairs. The apparatus further includes a determining unit that determines, among the cluster pairs and based on the bonding strength of each of the cluster pairs, a cluster pair to be merged; a merging unit that merges the cluster pair; and a searching unit that searches the merged clusters for a sub graph matching the inquiry graph. An output unit outputs a search result of the searching unit.
