Abstract
An image search apparatus includes a search processing unit and a display processing unit. The search processing unit extracts one or more images that meet a search condition, from a plurality of images associated with user accounts. The display processing unit displays the one or more images extracted by the search processing unit in such a manner that types of user accounts corresponding to the images can be discriminated.

An image search apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors configured to execute:
- a search processing module to extract one or more extracted images that meet a search condition, from a plurality of images associated with user accounts;
- and
- a display processing module to display the one or more extracted images in such a manner that types of user accounts corresponding to the one or more extracted images are visually distinguished, wherein
- the display processing module is configured to display, the one or more extracted images in alignment, and overlay one or more predetermined indicator images the one or more extracted images, respectively, such that each respective extracted image of the one or more extracted images is overlaid with a respective predetermined indicator image which corresponds to a predetermined specific type of a user account associated with the respective extracted image;
- each of the respective predetermined indicator images is at least one of a first predetermined indicator image or a second predetermined indicator image;
- each of the predetermined specific types is at least one of a first-type user account type or a second-type user account type;
- the display processing module is configured to overlay the first predetermined indicator image that corresponds to the first-type user account type on each of the one or more extracted images that are associated with the first-type user account type, and overlay the second predetermined indicator image that corresponds to the second-type user account type on each of the one or more extracted images that are associated with the second-type user account type;
- the first predetermined indicator image is different from the second predetermined indicator image;
- the first-type user account type is different from the second-type user account type;
- and
- the first-type user account type is a personal account type, and the second-type user account type is a business account type.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium in which is recorded an image search program that causes one or more processors to execute:
- a search step of extracting one or more extracted images that meet a search condition, from a plurality of images associated with user accounts;
- and
- a display step of displaying the one or more extracted images in such a manner that types of user accounts corresponding to the one or more extracted images are visually distinguished, wherein
- the one or more extracted images are displayed in alignment and one or more predetermined indicator images are overlaid on the one or more extracted images, respectively, such that each respective extracted image of the one or more extracted images is overlaid with a respective predetermined indicator image, which corresponds to a predetermined specific type of a user account associated with the respective extracted image;
- each of the respective predetermined indicator images is at least one of a first predetermined indicator image or a second predetermined indicator image;
- each of the predetermined specific types is at least one of a first-type user account type or a second-type user account type;
- the first predetermined indicator image that corresponds to the first-type user account type is overlaid on each of the one or more extracted images that are associated with the first-type user account type, and the second predetermined indicator image that corresponds to the second-type user account type is overlaid on each of the one or more extracted images that are associated with the second-type user account type;
- the first predetermined indicator image is different from the second predetermined indicator image;
- the first-type user account type is different from the second-type user account type;
- and
- the first-type user account type is a personal account type, and the second-type user account type is a business account type.
