Abstract
When a plurality of information search means are combined to search for information, a hybrid search system dynamically switches between combinations of information search means and ways of collecting search results from the plurality of information search means. In other words, the hybrid search system includes: a configuration management unit 100 for storing configuration information specifying the plurality of information search means in a configuration storage unit 300; and a search execution unit 200 causes each of the information search means 4011 to 401n, specified in the configuration information stored in the configuration storage unit 300, to execute an information search according to a search request.

A hybrid search system for combining a plurality of information search means to search for information, comprising:
- a configuration management unit for storing configuration information used in order to specify the plurality of information search means in a configuration storage unit;
- and
- a search execution unit for selecting a plurality of information search means by means of a selection means specified by the configuration information stored in the configuration storage unit, and causing selected information search means to execute an information search, in order to provide an information suitable for a taste or a situation of a user, when a search request is received.
A hybrid search method for combining a plurality of information search means to search for information, comprising:
- storing configuration information used in order to specify the plurality of information search means in a configuration storage unit
- selecting a plurality of information search means by means of a selection means specified by the configuration information stored in the configuration storage unit, when a search request is received;
- and
- causing selected information search means to execute an information search.
A hybrid search program causing a computer in a hybrid search system, in which a plurality of information search means are combined to search for information, to execute:
- a process to store configuration information used in order to specify the plurality of information search means in a configuration storage unit
- a process to select a plurality of information search means by means of a selection means specified by the configuration information stored in the configuration storage unit, when a search request is received;
- and
- a process to cause selected information search means, specified in the configuration information stored in the configuration storage unit, to execute an information search, when a search request is received.
