Abstract
Character string retrieval method and system for deciding en bloc whether or not a plurality of search terms as designated exist in a text composed of characters expressed in the form of character codes is characterized by inclusion of a character string storage unit for storing a text, a filtering unit for fetching character codes from a text read out from the character string storage unit to thereby output only those character codes that are included in the search term, and a character string matching unit for matching en bloc to decide whether or not the aforementioned search term exists in the string of character codes outputted from the filtering unit.
