Not only the fuzzy search is performed, but also the distance between phoneme discrimination features included in speech data is calculated to determine the similarity with respect to the speech using both a suffix array and dynamic programming, and an object to be searched for is narrowed by means of search keyword division based on a phoneme and search thresholds relative to a plurality of the divided search keywords, the object to be searched for is repeatedly searched for while increasing the search thresholds in order, and whether or not there is the keyword division is determined according to the length of the search keywords, thereby implementing speech search, the search speed of which is very fast and the search performance of which is also excellent.
