Abstract

To provide an information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program which can easily and appropriately inform the user of differences in results of searches performed based on the same search criteria at different times. An information processing apparatus retrieves first search results by searching a network for information using predetermined search criteria. The search criteria used in the search is registered.
