Abstract

A group of documents in a forum/message board are stored as a document group database in a predetermined server computer. A document group analysis device analyzes a group of documents contained in each set of documents corresponding to each message board in the document group database. A summation device generates a meta-index, a thread index, and an indexed file. A display device displays a group of documents in a display format of a keyword view, a thread view, or an author view using a meta-index and a thread index.
